World Microbiome Day has passed, but there is still more to learn about why #MicrobiomesMatters. Gut microbes turn some fibres into short-chain fatty acids, including acetate, propionate and butyrate. Explore the science: buff.ly/PD53Ohh #Microbiome #SCFAs

Explainer graphic defining short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as small molecules made when gut microbes digest fiber—mainly acetate, propionate and butyrate—and saying they nourish colon cells, influence immune signalling, and aid gut–brain communication.
