3 WHAT IS MISSING IN GERM-FREE MICE

4 PHYLOGENETIC DIVERSITY > 1000 species 6 (out of 100) bacterial phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes : 90% Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Fusobacteria and Verrucomicrobia : 10%

5 GUT METAGENOME FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY MICROBIOME 10 6 GENES 58% KNOWN 42% UNKNOWN carbohydrate metabolism (CAZymes) energy e metabolism amino acid metabolism biosynthesis of secondary metabolites metabolism of cofactors and vitamins

6 SUBSTRATES OF THE GM CAZymes ARSENAL thousands of enzymes while we possess only 17 El Kaoutary et al., Nature Rev not accessible to the human glycobiome! The GM possesses a broad glycobiome complexity, complementing the limited diversity of the human glycobiome and enhancing the superorganism capacity to metabolize complex polysaccharides

7 WE ARE BORN STERILE IN A MICROBIAL WORLD environmental microorganisms Proteobacteria -Streptococcus -Staphylococcusp y -Lachnospiraceae -Ruminococcaceae -Bacteroidaceae -Bifidobacteriaceae -Proteobacteria (dead) mother s milk microorganisms mother s milk vaginal flora (mother) Lactobacillaceae VIDUAL GENOME INDI fecal flora (mother / father) Gut microbiota skin flora (mother / father) Streptococcus, Staphylococcus mouth flora (mother / father) Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes INFANT MICROBIOTA WEANING ADULT INDIVIDUAL MICROBIOTA (from 1 st year to all life) - low diversity - highly dynamic - Bifidobacterium-dominated - presence of aerobes - Bacteroidetes and Veillonella as minor components

8 there is a strong selection towards a readily changeable individual microbiome profile ECOSYSTEM PLASTICITY UNIQUENESS OF OUR HISTORY, PHYSIOLOGY AND LIFESTYLE peculiar structure and temporal dynamics of the individual intestinal microbiota provide microbiota ecosystem services in the face of personalized physiology, immune system, environmental or dietary exposure and lifestyle

9 The gut microbiota is a multistable system Candela M., Biagi E., Maccaferri S., Turroni S. and Brigidi P. Intestinal microbiota is a plastic factor responding to environmental changes. Trends Microbiol Aug; 20(8): MUTUALISM n different compositional layouts OPTIMIZATION OF SUPERORGANISM S METABOLIC AND IMMUNOLOGICAL PERFORMANCES

10 LIFESTYLE IMPACTS THE GM ON A DAILY TIMESCALE two subjects, everyday sampling, ios App to record everyday lifestyle and dietary habits David et al., Genome Biol PERIOD OF STATIONARY GM DYNAMICS median distance between samples rapidly reaches the asymptote rapid variation in niche size due to daily fluctuation in diet ABRUPT CHANGES IN GM CONFIGURATION disruptive windows resulting in broad community disturbance: travel to developing nation (A), Salmonella infection (B): A) reversible environmental disturbance B) non-reversible community disturbance gut microbiome variation involves changes in relative abundance of already present bacteria (allocative efficiency), colonization of new species (dynamic efficiency) is relatively rare

11 TEMPORAL VARIABILITY IS A PERSONALIZED MICROBIOME FEATURE 85 adults, weekly sampling, 3 months, recording of lifestyle and dietary habits Flores et al., Genome Biol INDIVIDUAL VARIATION IN THE DEGREE OF GM TEMPORAL VARIABILITY INDIVIDUALS WITH MORE STABLE GM COMPOSITION ARE INDIVIDUALS WITH MORE DIVERSE COMMUNITY BACTEROIDACEAE WERE THE MOST ABUNDANT IN STABLE INDIVIDUALS, CLOSTRIDIACEAE AND LACTOBACILLACEAE IN VARIABLE INDIVIDUALS

Citi Critical lreviews in Microbiology, Sept, Online published. GUT MICROBIOTA CHANGES ITS PHYLOGENETIC AND FUNCTIONAL PROFILE FROM INFANCY TO ELDERLY PROVIDING THE HOST WITH ECOLOGICAL SERVICES CALIBRATED FOR EACH STAGE OF LIFE

14 Infant type microbiota: Bifidobacterium dominated, simple and readily changeable INFANT TYPE MICROBIOTA IS STRUCTURED TO COPE WITH INFLAMMATION, BEING CO EVOLVED TO PRIME THE EARLY IMMUNE SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSIENT INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES Centanni M., Turroni S., Consolandi C., Rampelli S., Peano C., Severgnini M., Biagi E., Caredda G., De Bellis G., Brigidi P., Candela M. The enterocyte associated intestinal microbiota of breast fed infants and adults responds differently to a TNF α mediated proinflammatory stimulus. PLoS ONE Nov; 8(11): e81762.

15 Adult type microbiota: complex and adaptable ecosystem dominated by Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes HIGHLY DIVERSE, THE ADULT-TYPE GM IS AN ADAPTIVE COMMUNITY FUNCTIONALLY STRUCTURED TO DEGRADE A VAST RANGE OF INDIGESTIBLE DIETARY AND HOST SUBSTRATES RANGE OF METABOLIC ENDPOINTS WITH THE POTENTIAL TO MODULATE AND REGULATE SEVERAL ASPECTS OF OUR PHYSIOLOGY ENERGETIC HOMEOSTASIS IMMUNE HOMEOSTASIS
