Mucosal Microbiota and Metabolome along the Intestinal Tract Reveal a Location-Specific Relationship

ABSTRACT The intestinal microbiota is highly metabolically active and plays an important role in many metabolic processes absent from the human host. Altered microbiota metabolism has been linked to diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and colorectal cancer. However, there is a gap in t...
