Age-related dynamics of predominant methanogenic archaea in the human gut microbiome
This study underscores the dynamics of archaeal microbiome in human physiology and aging. It highlights age-related shifts in methanogen composition, emphasizing the significance of both M. smithii and Ca. M. intestini and their partnership with butyrate-producing bacteria for potential enhanced health.
