Indoles
Microbial tryptophan metabolites produced by gut bacteria through the third branch of tryptophan metabolism -- the indole pathway. Unlike the host-dominated kynurenine pathway (~95% of Trp) and the serotonin pathway (~1-2%), the indole pathway is exclusively microbial a…

Propionic Acid
A three-carbon short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced primarily by Bacteroidetes and certain Firmicutes through anaerobic fermentation of dietary substrates. At physiological concentrations in healthy gut microbiomes, propionic acid (PPA) is a normal fermentation produc…
