Obesity influences and is influenced by the human gut microbiome. Here, we present the genome of Christensenella minuta, a highly heritable bacterial species which has been found to be strongly associated with obesity through an unknown biological mechanism. This novel genome provides a valuable resource for future obesity therapeutic studies.
肥胖影响人类肠道微生物群,同时也受到其影响。在此,我们展示了微小克里斯滕森菌的基因组,这是一种具有高度遗传性的细菌物种,已发现它通过未知的生物学机制与肥胖密切相关。这个新的基因组为未来的肥胖治疗研究提供了宝贵的资源。
