Abstract
The human gut microbiome produces a functional complex of biomolecules, including nucleic acids, (poly)peptides, structural molecules, and metabolites. This impacts human physiology in multiple ways, especially by triggering inflammatory pathways in disease. At present, much remains to be learned about the identity of key effectors and their causal roles.
