Bacteroidetes

Bacteroidetes is a large group of bacteria found mainly in the gut of humans and many animals. They play a vital role in breaking down complex carbohydrates from the foods we eat, such as fibers and plant materials, helping us extract nutrients and produce beneficial compounds. These bacteria support digestive health and influence immune function. Bacteroidetes are one part of the diverse microbial community that lives in our intestines, contributing to overall health and metabolism. Their presence and balance are important for maintaining a healthy gut environment.
