Transorgan SCFA metabolism • In vitro and animal models to probe SCFA metabolism Liver metabolism Colonic metabolism Whole body metabolism e.g. 50 mM butyrate bacterial production portal vein hepatic vein SCFA SCFA SCFA SCFA e.g. 10 uM butyrate liver colon cells arterial pool colon lumen ? SCFA substrate SCFA project - WP2
Structure of the project SCFA project – WP1
WP1 - Gut microbiomics of SCFA metabolism & metagenome-scale metabolic modelsVitor dos Santos Purpose The construction of genome-scale metabolic models of the gut microbiota, focusing on SCFA metabolism and the metabolic reconstruction and subsequent classification of metabolism of all sequenced species found in the gut, allowing for a reconstruction of the gut food web SCFA project – WP1
WP1 – Metagenome pathway analysis of gut microbial consortia, for SCFA production SCFA project – WP1
WP2 - Purpose Develop computational models that allow to predict the rates of intestinal SCFA production and the rates of the main SCFA-derived metabolic processes in the host, using knowledge on the composition of the intestinal microbiota and the given substrate • Focus on processes associated with the proximal colon as this is the principal site of SCFA production • Use available data (acquired in TIFN C-012 “Microbe-mediated gut metabolism” project) SCFA project - WP2
