The Role of the Circadian Clock in Microbial Composition and Function

The host circadian clock orchestrates microbial composition and function through rhythmic changes in:

Feeding-fasting cycles

Hormone secretion

Immune responses

Bile acid metabolism

Zheng et al. 2025b Front Microbiol 16: 1712516

The circadian clock controls feeding rhythms that promote daily oscillations in the composition of the gut microbiota. These oscillations are associated with rhythmic fluctuations in the concentrations of certain [microbial metabolites](brain://p8ShDJJhvEi8m67du1_tSg/BacterialMetaboli…
