detoxification mechanism increases resilience of the gut environment.

Lachnospiraceae members were highly detected in dysbiotic IL-10 KO mice that displayed similar physiological outcomes as control mice. Lachnospiraceae is a highly diverse family of microbes that have been shown to display both commensal and pathogenic characteristics in the colon environment. We investigated the impact of genetic variation in five Lachnospiraceae strains on lowering cellular inflammation and ROS levels. Cell free spent media (CFSM) from resulted in lowered ROS, and nitric oxide levels in stressed colon cells. We demonstrated through an array of multi-omics and molecular techniques that glutathione (GSH) biosynthesized by was able to alleviate host ROS damage. We further showed downregulation of cell stress and immune response genes by host RNA sequencing, which is evidence that microbial products promote recovery and alleviate ROS stress.
