Bile acids are cholesterol-derived amphipathic molecules synthesized in the liver, secreted into the duodenum, and extensively modified by gut bacteria. The host-microbe co-metabolism of bile acids creates a signaling network with profound effects on lipid metabolism, g…
A Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic genus within the lachnospiraceae family (Firmicutes phylum). Dorea occupies a mixed role in the gut ecosystem -- while it is a core member of the healthy human microbiome, several species are consistently enriched in autoimmune and ne…

The only archaeon represented in this wiki -- Methanobrevibacter smithii is the dominant methane-producing microorganism in the human gut, belonging to the domain Archaea rather than Bacteria. As a hydrogenotrophic methanogen, it converts H2 + CO2 into methane (CH4), pl…
Methanobrevibacter smithii is the dominant methanogenic archaeon in the human gut, responsible for consuming hydrogen gas produced by fermentative bacteria and converting it to methane. Despite being an archaeon rather than a bacterium, it represents 0–15% of gut microb…
Chronic inflammatory activation within the central nervous system, driven by microglia, astrocytes, and infiltrating peripheral immune cells. Neuroinflammation is a convergent pathological mechanism across alzheimers disease, parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, and …
The second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting over 10 million people worldwide dorsey 2018 parkinsons incidence meta analysis. Characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, alpha-synuclein aggregation (Lewy bodies), and…
Live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. In the context of this wiki, probiotics are relevant both as therapeutic agents for metal-related diseases and as mediators of gut metal microbiome interactions. Their …
A Gram-positive obligate anaerobe that has emerged as a pro-inflammatory pathobiont enriched across multiple disease states including crohns disease, depression, and multiple sclerosis. R. gnavus produces a species-specific inflammatory polysaccharide that activates int…
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular budding fungus (ascomycete) ubiquitous in fermentation, brewing, bread-making, and increasingly used as a pharmaceutical probiotic (Hatoum et al. 2012). The strain S. boulardii (also called S. cerevisiae var. boulardii) is the m…
