The human gut microbiome is an essential component of a healthy host. It comprises two major phyla, Bactereriodetes and Firmicutes, each with important functions. The human gut microbiome includes many different bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, and protozoans. A healthy gut microbiome can help to live a long healthy life, but new studies are showing that consumption of many sweeteners, like sucrose and glucose-fructose syrups, can lead to effects on the once healthy gut.


At right is a sample image insertion. It works for any image uploaded anywhere to MicrobeWiki.

The insertion code consists of:

Sample citations: [1] [2]

A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
To repeat the citation for other statements, the reference needs to have a names: "<ref name=aa>"
The repeated citation works like this, with a forward slash.[1]

Section 1

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.

Every point of information REQUIRES CITATION using the citation tool shown above.

Section 2

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.

Section 3

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.

Section 4

Conclusion
