“…Taxa showing a lower abundance in VA included the families Atopobiaceae, Eggerthellaceae, and the genera Selenomonas, Olsenella and Family_XIII_UCG-001. Across these families, several taxa have been previously linked to gut health such as playing an important role in plant secondary compound metabolism (e.g., Eggerthellaceae, Greene et al, 2020), acting in the fermentation of lactate and soluble sugars (e.g., intestinal Selenomonas, Hespell et al, 2006, Sawanon et al, 2011, and playing a role in fiber digestion, host lipid metabolism and energy storage in high-fat diets (e.g., Olsenella, Houtkamp et al, 2023, Kaakoush, 2015.…”
