Emerging Advances in the Interaction Between Food and Gut Microbiota

Dear Colleagues,

The imbalance of gut microbiota has been associated with the occurrence and development of many diseases, and maintaining the homeostasis of gut microbiota is closely related to human health. The methods used to promote the stability of gut microenviroment include foods such as dietary fibers, medications, and strain-based therapies such as probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation. The purpose of the Special Issue is to mainly collect the emerging advances in the interaction between food and gut microbiota, including techniques, methods, and findings, etc. Specifically, this Special Issue intends to cover the following aspects:

1. The effect of diets and food components on gut microbiota;
2. The metabolic process and mechanism of diets and food components by gut microbiota;
3. The interaction between food and gut microbiota in human health and disease;
4. Study involving omics technologies of gut microbiota such as metabolomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics;
5. Study on gut microbiota in human health and disease.
