In collaboration with Synchrotron Oxford, the University of East Anglia and the University of California, the researchers, using a commonly - found member
of human gut microbiota called Ruminococcus gnavus as a model organism identified carbohydrate binding modules with the ability to bind to mucus.
Functional metagenomics: a high throughput screening method to decipher microbiota ‐ driven NF ‐ κB modulation in the human gut
Using a «gnotobiotic mouse model» — where mice were «colonized with a
synthetic human gut microbiota composed of fully sequenced commensal bacteria» — Desai et al reported on the effects of different diets with different fibre content.

To do this, they colonized the intestines of germ - free mice with a
synthetic human gut microbiota and exposed the mice to either a plant fiber - free diet or a plant fiber - rich diet.
Establishing whether specific structural and functional configurations of
a human gut microbiota are causally related to a given physiologic or disease phenotype is challenging.
Heiman and Greenway describe how the reduction in dietary diversity has changed the richness of
human gut microbiota, the community of microorganisms living in the gut.

human gut microbiota: Dietary diversity necessary for a healthy gastrointestinal microbiome.»
Hjorth says that research into
the human gut microbiota is increasingly playing a role in personalizing nutrition.
The IMI could also control and organize access to metadata (the associated host disease phenotype data, for
a human gut microbiota sample, for instance) without which meaningful interpretation of the data is not possible.

the Human Gut Microbiota — Eugen Bauer — mSystems
Review:
Human Gut Microbiota and Gastrointestinal Cancer.
These observations support the hypothesis of functional redundancy in
the human gut microbiota.
Hence, a lot of necessary neurotransmitters in the body are generated by the gut microbiota, exerting influence on the human body including the brain, among which many neurotransmitters in
the human gut microbiota are also critical molecules.»

the human gut microbiota, and IBD.»
Over the last 10 to 15 years, the understanding of the composition and functions of
the human gut microbiota has increased exponentially.
