Abstract
We aimed to determine whether the composition of the fecal microbiota changes under hyperbaric conditions. In this study, we collected fecal samples from 6 healthy divers at three points during deep diving training (before, 2.1 MPa, end). The frequency of Clostridium cluster XVIII tended to be increased after compression. The frequencies of Clostridium cluster IV and subcluster XIVa were inversely correlated with that of Bacteroides. The compositional changes in the fecal microbiota exhibited interindividual variability. These findings suggest that hyperbaric conditions affect the fecal microbiota.
期刊介绍:
Bioscience of Microbiota, Food and Health (BMFH) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal with a specific area of focus: intestinal microbiota of human and animals, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and food immunology and food function. BMFH contains Full papers, Notes, Reviews and Letters to the editor in all areas dealing with intestinal microbiota, LAB and food immunology and food function. BMFH takes a multidisciplinary approach and focuses on a broad spectrum of issues.
