While the abundance of research available on plant based and high fiber diets and the benefits to the microbiome, we should not assume the absence of microbiome benefits on a plant devoid diet that is abundant in protein. Recent evidence suggests that amino acid fermentation plays a significant role in contributing to microbiome diversity. Here’s how this process influences microbial communities and how it relates to the gut microbiome of carnivores. The presence of auxotrophic bacteria fosters
