Английская Википедия:Eubacterium eligens
Eubacterium eligens is a gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria in the shape of a rod. Its natural habitat is the human colon.[1] Very little is known about how it affects human health.
It seems to play a role in reducing inflammation as E. eligens produces byturate and promotes the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10. In the PREDICT 1 study, E. eligens is listed as one of the 15 "good gut microbes" because it was found to promote the production of anti-inflammatory molecules, lower insulin secretion, increase level of ‘healthy’ fats, and because there is an association between a high abundance of E. eligens and lower belly fat.[2][3]
E. eligens is known to be an apple pectin degrader. So, anyone looking to promote the growth of E. eligens in their gut should eat apples.Шаблон:Citation needed
