Methanobrevibacter Details: NCBI 2172, gram-negative or unknown [genus]

| Methanobrevibacter| Methanobrevibacter Balch and Wolfe 1981

1. Methane Production: Methanobrevibacter species are capable of producing methane as a byproduct of their metabolic processes. This methane production in the gut is a natural occurrence and is involved in the final stages of digestion.

2. Influence on Digestive Processes: Methanobrevibacter species are involved in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates that are not digested by the human host. They can ferment these carbohydrates into simpler compounds, contributing to overall digestive processes.

3. Association with Gut Health: Studies have linked Methanobrevibacter species, particularly Methanobrevibacter smithii, to various gastrointestinal conditions. They have been associated with constipation and functional bowel disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

4. Hydrogen Removal: Methanogens like Methanobrevibacter species consume hydrogen produced by other bacteria in the gut during fermentation processes. This consumption of hydrogen may affect the overall balance of fermentation and could potentially influence gut health.

5. Correlation with Diet: Diet can influence the abundance and activity of Methanobrevibacter species. High-fiber diets and diets rich in complex carbohydrates can support their growth, as they thrive on these substrates for fermentation.

6. Influence on Metabolism: Some research suggests that Methanobrevibacter species might play a role in energy metabolism by affecting the balance of gut microbiota and their interactions with the host.

7. Associations with Disease: Alterations in the abundance of Methanobrevibacter species have been observed in certain disease states. However, the causal relationship between these alterations and specific health conditions is not fully understood.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Methanobrevibacter

• Frequency - how often do samples show this bacteria
• UD - An alternative statistical algorithm (which factors in the frequency)
• Kaltoft-Moldrup Heuristic Using uploaded data
• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 2 Standard Deviation to Mean + 2 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples (Patent Pending)
