Diversity of human colonic butyrate‐producing bacteria revealed by analysis of the butyryl‐CoA:acetate CoA‐transferase gene

Butyrate-producing bacteria play an important role in the human colon, supplying energy to the gut epithelium and regulating host cell responses. In order to explore the diversity and culturability of this functional group, we designed degenerate primers to amplify butyryl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferas... View More
