The Relationship Between Gut Microbiome and Bile Acids in Primates With Diverse Diets.

ABSTRACT: Primates have evolved a variety of feeding habits and intestinal physiological structure. Gut microbiome act as metabolic organs in many biological processes and play a vital role in adaptation to dietary niches. Gut microbiome also convert primary bile acids (BAs) to secondary. BAs profile and gut microbiome are together influenced by diets and play a significant role in nutrient absorption. The regulation between gut microbiome and BAs metabolism is bidirectional although the relationship in primates consuming diverse diets is still unclear. Here, we investigated gut microbiome structures, fecal BAs profile, and their relationship in primates preferring three distinct diets. We found that gut microbiome communities are well differentiated among dietary groups. Folivorous primates had hig
