... individuals presented 240 different genera in their microbiome. Indeed, 197 different genera were present in the microbiome of French, 138 different genera in Amazonians, 154 in Saudis and 109 in Polynesians (see Supplementary material, Fig S2). We then examined the existence of a common bacterial core among the different populations tested and found that 40 different bacteria genera were present in at least 50% of the entire obese population tested. ...

... individuals presented differences in the presence of Lactobacillus sp. in their gut microbiota. Polynesians presented significantly lower relative abundance of Lactobacillus sp. than French (p 0.01) and Saudis (p 0.05) (Fig. 2). Moreover, exten- sive differences were found at the Lactobacillus species level. As a result, the relative abundances of Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus plantarum were significantly greater in the gut microbiome of Amazonians compared with French (p 0.03 and p < 0.001, respectively) and Saudis (p 0.01 and p < 0.001, ...

Obesity and its complications constitute a substantial burden. Considerable published research describes the novel relationships between obesity and gut microbiota communities. It is becoming evident that microbiota behave in a pivotal role in their ability to influence homeostatic mechanisms either to the benefit or detriment of host health, the e...

Coprolites have been a source of study for archeologists due to several reasons: they not only provide information on the life and
nutritional habits of ancient individuals but also on their health. In this paper, we processed 10 coprolites collected at La Cueva de
Los Muertos Chiquitos (600–800 CE), Rio Zape, Mexico, with acetolysis solution for pollen analysis. The number of pollen
grains/gram of each coprolite sample was quantified along with the macroscopic remains of these samples. The main food item
ingested by the population was maize, followed by Agave. Squash blossoms were also part of their food source determined by the
presence of pollen grains. In macroremains, we identified rodent bones, plant seeds, and Agave fibers. The macroscopic analysis
of the samples fits with the analysis of smaller remains, giving an idea of the meal represented by each coprolite analyzed. We
relate these results to previous microbiome studies of coprolite samples from the same archeological site and provide a discussion
on the relevancy of studying macro- and microremains that can be applied to microbiome interpretation analysis.
