Periodic Reporting for period 1 - H2Gut (Interspecies hydrogen transfer in the mammalian gut: how interactions between fermenters and hydrogenotrophs influence colonic homeostasis)

Hydrogen gas is an important metabolite formed in our gut solely by microorganisms when indigestible components of our diet such as fibre (polysaccharides) are broken down and fermented. Hydrogen that is produced in the human gut builds up to relatively high levels after a...
