Although iron is an essential nutrient for humans, as well as for almost all other organisms, it is poorly absorbed (~15%) from the diet such that most passes through the upper gut into the large intestine. The colonic microbiota is thus exposed to, and potentially influenced by, such residual iron which could have an impact on human health. The aim of the research described here is to determine how the major forms of dietary iron (inorganic iron and haem) influence metabolic activity and composition of the human gut microbiota by utilising an in vitro parallel, pH-controlled anaerobic batch culture approach. Controlled iron provision was enabled by the design of a ‘modified’ low-iron gut-model medium whereby background iron content was red...
