Origins and functions of microbiome rhythms.
Cell host & microbe
2025; 33 (6): 808-819
Abstract
Daily oscillations in microbiota composition and function are emerging as an important element in host-microbiota interactions. Here, we summarize features of the microbiota that undergo diurnal rhythms, their development, their impact on the biology of the host, and their relevance to human health and disease. In particular, we focus on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate microbiota oscillations and the multifaceted roles that microbiota rhythmicity plays in host physiology, immunity, and metabolism. Given the pervasive impact of intestinal microorganisms on host health, understanding the origins and functions of microbiota rhythms is a critical aspect of the circadian biology of the meta-organism.
