To understand the influence of diet on the intestinal microbiota, research has focused on individual macronutrients. Some macronutrients (e.g. fiber) have been studied in great detail and have been found to strongly influence the intestinal microbiota. The relationship between dietary protein, a vital macronutrient, and the intestinal microbiota has gone largely unexplored. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary protein strongly impacts intestinal microbiota composition and function and that protein-microbiota interactions can have critical impacts on host health. In this review, we focus on recent studies investigating the impact of dietary protein quantity and source on the intestinal microbiota and resulting host health consequences. We highlight major open questions critical to understanding health outcomes mediated by interactions between dietary protein and the microbiota.}, number={11}, journal={ISCIENCE}, author={Bartlett, Alexandria and Kleiner, Manuel}, year={2022}, month={Nov} } @article{wagner_tang_salvato_clouse_bartlett_vintila_phillips_sermons_hoffmann_balint-kurti_et al._2021, title={Microbe-dependent heterosis in maize}, volume={118}, ISSN={0027-8424 1091-6490}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2021965118}, DOI={10.1073/pnas.2021965118}, abstractNote={Significance}, number={30}, journal={Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}, publisher={Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}, author={Wagner, Maggie R. and Tang, Clara and Salvato, Fernanda and Clouse, Kayla M. and Bartlett, Alexandria and Vintila, Simina and Phillips, Laura and Sermons, Shannon and Hoffmann, Mark and Balint-Kurti, Peter J. and et al.}, year={2021}, month={Jul} }
