Worms, bacteria, and micronutrients: an elegant model of our diet

Abstract: Micronutrients are required in small proportions in a diet to carry out key metabolic roles for biomass and energy production. Humans receive micronutrients either directly from their diet or from gut microbiota that metabolize other nutrients. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and its bacterial diet provide a relatively simple and genetically tractable model to study both direct and microbe-mediated effects of micronutrients. Recently, this model has been used to gain insight into the relationship between m… Show more

“…All animals must receive nutrients from diet to support survival and reproduction. Diet also directly and indirectly affects development, metabolism, behavior, and aging (Nicholson et al, 2012; Pflughoeft and Versalovic, 2012; Yilmaz and Walhout, 2014). Different diets vary in the amount and composition of nutrients and thus elicit distinct dietary responses, depending on the genetic makeup and physiological state of the animal (Jones et al, 2012; Yilmaz and Walhout, 2014).…”

Diet shift and aberrant dietary signaling have been linked to a growing list of human disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases (Salonen and de Vos, 2014).…”
