This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Gut microbe-mediated breakdown of intestinal contents is important for host nutrition and immunity, but the specific nutrients consumed by common gut microbes are unclear. To learn more, a recent study combined microbiota profiling and untargeted metabolomics to examine gut metabolites and microbes in mice. Microbiome disruption with an antibiotic (streptomycin) increased the levels of carbohydrates, particularly sugar acids and sugar alcohols, in the cecum and these increases were associated with depletion of Clostridia and Erysipelotrichia. Conversely, inoculation of microbe-free mice with a Clostridia/Erysipelotrichia mixture (CE17) reduced sugar acid and sugar alcohol levels. Transplantation of microbe-free mice with a complex normal-mouse microbiome (C57FMT) produced similar results, supporting the importance of Clostridia and Erysipelotrichia for digestion of these substances..."
