• Resumen

  • The article focuses on research into intestinal bacteria by biochemist Jeremy Nicholson. It states that Nicholson, head of the biomolecular medicine department at the Imperial College in London, England, is an expert on metabolome, the chemicals that the human metabolism produces, and that these chemicals can provide a picture of a person's physical health. It mentions that gut bacteria are nearly impossible to culture as they only survive in highly acidic, oxygen-free environments. INSET: JEREMY NICHOLSON.
