H2 generated by fermentation in the human gut microbiome influences metabolism and competitive fitness of gut butyrate producers

Abstract Background Hydrogen gas (H2) is a common product of carbohydrate fermentation in the human gut microbiome and its accumulation can modulate fermentation. Concentrations of colonic H2 vary between individuals, raising the possibility that H2 concentration may be an important factor different...
