Impact of a 7-day homogeneous diet on interpersonal variation in human gut microbiomes and metabolomes

L. Guthrie, S. Spencer, D. Perelman, W. Van Treuren, S. Han, F. B. Yu, E. Sonnenburg, M. A. Fischbach, T. W. Meyer, J. Sonnenburg

A 7-day homogeneous diet did not reduce interindividual variation in uremic microbiome-derived metabolites, indicating limited dietary impact and suggesting the need for microbial interventions.

Gut microbiome transition across a lifestyle gradient in Himalaya

A. R. Jha, E. R. Davenport, Y. Gautam, D. Bhandari, S. Tandukar, K. Ng, S. Holmes, G. P. Gautam, J. B. Sherchand, C. Bustamante, J. Sonnenburg

The paper examines gut microbiome differences across four Himalayan populations with varying lifestyles, finding that microbiome composition is significantly associated with lifestyle changes rather than genetics or geography.
