What it can do
Makes
- Can make butyrate A short-chain fatty acid that feeds the cells lining the colon.
Not seen in its genomes: make propionate, make lactic acid, ferment fiber, eat inulin, eat resistant starch, eat pectin, use lactose, feed on gut mucus, change bile acids, make B vitamins, make hydrogen sulfide, make methane.
