Abstract:Sphingolipids serve as vital structural and signaling components of the cell membranes in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Within the gut microbiome,
Bacteroides
species have been identified as major producers of sphingolipids, and
Bacteroides
-produced sphingolipids have been shown to be modulators of host immune and metabolic functions. While
Bacteroides
species are a prominent feature of the gut microbiomes of populations living in indu… Show more
