In vitro metabolic signaling in two intestinal bacterial isolates: glutamate-driven transcriptional and functional reprogramming in Clostridium butyricum and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Analysis of strain-specific transcriptomic and metabolic responses of Clostridium butyricum and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron grown in pure anaerobic culture with 0.1% MSG suggested that MSG's physiological effects may depend on which bacterial groups dominate an individual’s microbiome.
