Unraveling GABA-Related Metabolic Pathways in Diverse Bifidobacterium Species

The microbiota exerts a significant influence on health and physiology through intricate interactions with hosts. This study examines the GABA-associated metabolic pathways in various Bifidobacterium species across host taxa, utilizing the KEGG pathway database. Our findings suggest that Bifidobacterium species associated with insects are distinct from those linked to mammals. Clinical Relevance– This research enhances understanding of GABA-associated pathways in Bifidobacterium, thus contributing to our comprehension of microbiota-host interactions and how these can be beneficial for overall health.
