Beyond the plate: A pilot study exploring the microbial landscape of omnivores and vegans through 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and metagenomics
These results were consistent with recently published gut microbiome signatures of vegans and omnivores across three different countries. Therefore, this small dataset allows a first insight into the gut microbiota of another county's omnivores and vegans whereby detailed and relevant dietary, lifestyle and health related characteristics collected in this study aid in understanding of the connection between respective diets and the microbiome.
