This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Project Summary: We are attempting to correlate the structure of the gut microbial community and its microbiome with its metabolome. Measuring levels of short chain fatty acids (acetate, butyrate, propionate) provides us with a biomarker of dietary polysaccharide metabolism by the microbiota. Levels to be measured by GC-MS in samples of cecal contents obtained from genotobiotic mice
