Overview of diet-microbiome associations in the present study

Findings in the present study Previous studies
Genus Dietary factorsa Associations with diet and health References
[Eubacterium] ruminantium group Long-term animal oil intake ( −) SCFA-producing bacteria; decrease with an increasing protein/fat in diet; negative association with IL-2 and C-reactive protein [48]
[Eubacterium] xylanophilum group Long-term uPDI ( −) SCFA-producing bacteria; inverse association with liver total triglycerides; lower in women who developed gestational diabetes [4850]
Blautia Short-term hPDI ( +) SCFA-producing bacteria; increased after high-fiber diet; linked with healthier eating behavior; negative association with visceral fat, Hb1Ac and inflammation [41, 44, 45]
Catenisphaera Short-term PDI ( −) Increase with high-fat diet; decrease with flavonoids intake; enriched in acute coronary syndrome patients; potentially contribute to the inflammation; associated with host lipid metabolism [5153]
Dorea Short-term hPDI ( −) SCFA-producing bacteria; correlated with vegetal protein; higher in patients with irritable bowel syndrome [54, 55]
Enterococcaceae spp. Long-term nuts intake ( −) No related information found
Exiguobacterium

Long-term uPDI ( +)

Long-term legumes ( −)

Involved in the starch hydrolysis [56]
F0332 Long-term uPDI ( +) Enriched in children with dental caries; increased abundance in bacterial infection and asthma [5759]
Paraeggerthella Long-term animal oil intake ( −) Involved in ellagic acid metabolism and help produce anti-inflammatory metabolite isolecithine-A [60, 61]
Peptostreptococcus Long-term PDI ( −) Involved in tryptophan metabolism; linked with inflammation
Polynucleobacter

Short-term hPDI ( +)

Short-term uPDI ( −)

SCFA-producing bacteria; potentially make up for disorders in glycogenolysis; enriched in healthy athletes [43, 46, 47]
Ruminococcaceae UCG − 009 Short-term hPDI ( +) SCFA-producing bacteria; involved in amino acid metabolism
Terrisporobacter Long-term refined grains intake ( +) Opportunistic pathogen; could degrade carbon sources (e.g., glucose, cellobiose, and xylose) [62, 63]
ZOR0006 Short-term uPDI ( +) Enriched in the fish fed in the paddy field [64]
