Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbial metabolites are known to modulate host physiology and immunity. Gut microbes live in dense communities along the luminal tract metabolizing host-consumed substrate, host-produced metabolites, and responding to immune cells. These substrates and metabolites are converted to compounds that have a direct effect on the host through absorption across the intestinal mucosa or serve as substrates or anti-microbial effects on other microbes in the gut. Multi-omics studies of the gut microbiome have served to identify microbial metabolites and microbial taxa associated with intestinal chronic diseases.
The aim of this special issue is to identify more novel microbial metabolites that are potential markers for gut chronic diseases. Original research, methods papers and comprehensive reviews on these topics are welcome.
