A protocol combining breath testing and ex vivo fermentations to study the human gut microbiome

Summary: This protocol describes the application of breath testing and ex vivo fermentations to study the association between breath methane and the composition and functionality of the gut microbiome. The protocol provides a useful systems biology approach for studying the gut microbiome in humans,...

description Summary: This protocol describes the application of breath testing and ex vivo fermentations to study the association between breath methane and the composition and functionality of the gut microbiome. The protocol provides a useful systems biology approach for studying the gut microbiome in humans, which combines standardized methods in human breath testing and fecal sampling. The model described is accessible and easy to repeat, but its relative simplicity means that it can deviate from human physiological conditions.
