Enterotype-associated differences in potential for butyrate, succinate, and propionate production. a Pathway showing the genes involved in final biosynthetic steps from crotonyl-CoA to butyrate, including bcd (butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, K00248), ptb genes (phosphate butyryltransferase, K00634), buk genes (butyrate kinase, K00929), and but (butyryl CoA:acetate CoA transferase, K01034). b The relative abundance of genes involved in butyrate production within each enterotype. c The relative abundance of genes involved in succinate production (succinate dehydrogenase complex (K00239, K00240 and K00241) within each enterotype. d Mean relative abundance of bcd genes (K00248) listed according to annotated bacterial species within each enterotypes. e Mean relative abundance of sdhA genes (K00239) listed according to annotated bacterial species within each enterotypes.
