Gut microbiome 1 from FAT-R diet fed mouse

Total community DNA was isolated from the cecal contents of FAT-R diet fed wild-type C57BL/6J mouse. Mice with obesity produced by consumption of a high-fat/high-sugar Western diet develop a bloom of an uncultured distal gut bacterial lineage. Comparative metagenomic studies of this community provides information about this organism's niche, and emphasize how diet and the gut bacterial community are interrelated variables in the energy balance equation. EU503541-EU512027 are the 16S ribosomal RNA sequences associated with this study. Sequences deposited into the Trace Archive can be found using the Project data link.
