The ability to monitor the levels of H2 and CH4 in a positive hydrogentest (HBT) was demonstrated. The FERS sensor possesses a high dynamic range (5 orders of magnitude) with a fast res

14、e, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France.Methanogenic archaea are known as human gut inhabitants since more than 30 years ago through the detection ofin theand isolation of two methanogenic species belonging to the order Methanobacteriales, Methanobrevibacter smithii and Methanosphaera stadtmanae. During
15、 the last decade, diversity of archaea encountered in the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has been extended by sequence identification and culturing of new strains. Here we provide an updated census of the archaeal diversity associated with the human GIT and their possible role in the gut physiol

While also largely distributed in non-GIT environments, our actual knowledge on this novel order of methanogens has been mainly revealed throu

Trimethylamine is exclusively a microbiota-derived product of nutrients (lecithin, choline, TMAO, L-carnitine) from normal diet, from which seems originate two diseases, tr

This therefore supports interest on these methanogenic species and its use as archaebiotics, a term coined from the notion of archaea-derived probiotics.Gut Micr

Pain symptoms, stooling characteristics,hydrogen andmethane, whole intestinal transit time, stool microbiome, and metabolite composition were collected and/or documented in eight children with IBS at baseline and during one week of an LFSD intervention. Pain frequency (P0.05), p

There were no differences between responders and non-responders with respect to hydrogen production,production, stooling characteristics, or gut transit time. Responder

In parallel, stool metabolites differed between responders and n
