Researchers have found that the balance of your gut microbiome can influence your perception of fairness. A study from the ...

The study suggests that Firmicutes bacteria, including those from the Lachnospiraceae family, can help maintain bone mass. This is achieved through the modulation of the host's metabolic and ...

Host adaptation in gut Firmicutes is associated with sporulation loss and altered transmission cycle. Genome Biology , 2021; 22 (1) DOI: 10.1186/s13059-021-02428-6 Cite This Page : ...

Bone health is also deeply influenced by the microbiome. Our study suggests that Firmicutes bacteria, including those from the Lachnospiraceae family, can help maintain bone mass.

Some surface Firmicutes species are known to consume sulfate and hydrogen as a way to get energy for growth. Other bacteria can then use the by-products of the Firmicutes as a source of food.

The Firmicutes are divided into ∼ 300 genera, the vast majority of which have a Gram-positive cell wall. Some genera contain groups or species with an A1γ-type peptidoglycan, such as ...

Most intriguingly, the researchers found that the Firmicutes bacteria didn’t just play an active role in helping the zebrafish absorb fat—the population of the bacteria itself was influenced ...

The firmicutes/bacteroidetes ratio is an important factor in the composition of the intestinal microbiota and may change dramatically under certain pathological conditions.

There are two main families of good bacteria in the gut: bacteroidetes and firmicutes. Research has found that body weight seems to be related to the balance of these two families of bacteria.

Firmicutes, especially Lachnospiraceae, support bone health by producing butyrate and L-arginine, which modulate inflammation and metabolism, suggesting microbiome-targeted strategies for ...
