  • subsistence strategies in Traditional Societies distinguish gut microbiomes
    Nature Communications, 2015
    Co-Authors: Luke K. Ursell, Alexandra J Obregontito, Raul Y Tito, Jessica L Metcalf, Krithivasan Sankaranarayanan, Jose C Clemente, Zhenjiang Zech Xu
    Abstract:

    The gut microbiomes of urban-industrialized Societies differ from those of Traditional rural Societies and hunter-gatherers. Here the authors perform a comparative analysis of available and new gut microbiome data to provide fresh insight into these differences.

    Abstract:

    Recent studies suggest that gut microbiomes of urban-industrialized Societies are different from those of Traditional peoples. Here we examine the relationship between lifeways and gut microbiota through taxonomic and functional potential characterization of faecal samples from hunter-gatherer and Traditional agriculturalist communities in Peru and an urban-industrialized community from the US. We find that in addition to taxonomic and metabolic differences between urban and Traditional lifestyles, hunter-gatherers form a distinct sub-group among Traditional peoples. As observed in previous studies, we find that Treponema are characteristic of Traditional gut microbiomes. Moreover, through genome reconstruction (2.2-2.5 MB, coverage depth × 26-513) and functional potential characterization, we discover these Treponema are diverse, fall outside of pathogenic clades and are similar to Treponema succinifaciens, a known carbohydrate metabolizer in swine. Gut Treponema are found in non-human primates and all Traditional peoples studied to date, suggesting they are symbionts lost in urban-industrialized Societies.
