Abundances of Alistipes and Akkermansia spp.

1. Abundances of Alistipes and Akkermansia spp. is associated with B cell precursor numbers in mice.

   “The decreased abundances of Alistipes and Akkermansia spp. after dietary tryptophan restriction correlated significantly with decreased B cell precursor numbers.”
