Christensenella

CHRISTENSENELLA

This lesser-known microbe has been shown to play a role in preventing weight gain, and some researchers even consider it a marker of longevity because it has been found in greater relative abundance in people aged over 105 years than in other adults. Christensenella is considered to be a heritable microbe because it is often identified in the gut microbiome of related people. It is also more common in people with lower body mass. These bacteria use dietary fibres found in plant foods like fruit, grains and berries to produce SCFAs.
