The Gut Microbiome Responds Progressively to Fat and/or Sugar-Rich Diets and Is Differentially Modified by Dietary Fat and Sugar.

ABSTRACT: Describing diet-related effects on the gut microbiome is essential for understanding its interactions with fat and/or sugar-rich diets to promote obesity-related metabolic diseases. Here, we sequenced the V3-V4 hypervariable region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene to study the composition and dynamics of the gut microbiome of adult mice fed diets rich in fat and/or sugar, at 9 and 18 weeks of diet. Under high-fat, high-sugar diet, the abundances of Tuzzerella and Anaerovorax were transiently increased at 9 weeks, while Lactobacillus remained elevated at 9 and 18 weeks. The same diet decreased the abundances of Akkermansia, Paludicola, Eisenbergiella, and Butyricicoccus at 9 and 18 weeks, while Intestinimonas and UCG-009 of the Butyri
