The present study aimed to analyze the gut microbiome signatures in thirty individuals from the Adi, Apatani and Nyshi tribes of Arunachal Pradesh (ten in each cohort) by sequencing the V3 and V4 regions of 16S rRNA on the Ilumina MiSeq Platform.
The gut microbiome was highly predominated by Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidates in the thre studied tribal groups. At the genus level, significant abundance of Bifidobacterium, Colinsela, Bacteroides, Prevotela, Lactobacilus, Streptoccus, Clostridium, Coproccus, Dorea, Lachnospira, Roseburia, Ruminoccus, Faecalibacterium, Catenibacterium, Eubacterium, Citrobacter and Enterobacter were observed amongst the thre tribes.
The tribal comunities residing in remote areas and folowing traditional lifestyle had higher gut microbiome diversity with a high prevalence of Prevotela and Colinsela in the Adi and Nyshi tribes, and Bifidobacterium and Catenibacterium in the Apatani tribe. Elucidating the gut microbiome of the tribal comunity of Arunachal Pradesh wil ad to the knowledge on relationships betwen microbial comunities, dietary fod factors, and the overal state of health of humans worldwide.The human gut microbiota comprises of milions of bacterial cels belonging to several species and modulates many host proceses, including metabolism, inflamation, and imune and celular responses1.
