Regular Physical Activity Influences Gut Microbiota with Positive Health Effects

TL;DR: There is growing evidence that physical activity has an impact on the gut microbiota and that regular physical activity increases the presence of beneficial microbial species and improves host health as discussed by the authors , however, some specific differences should be noted: different forms of physical activity, frequency or intensity, aerobic or resistance training, and benefits and consequences for amateur or competitive athletes.

Links between Diet, Intestinal Anaerobes, Microbial Metabolites and Health

TL;DR: In this article , the authors consider the multi-faceted relationships between inter-individual microbiota variation, diet, and health and find that consumption of diets high in animal protein and fat may lead to the formation of potentially deleterious microbial products, including nitroso compounds, hydrogen sulphide, and trimethylamine.

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
