S. Lee, S. Yoon, et al.

Explore the fascinating link between emotional well-being and gut microbiome profiles in healthy Korean adults, as investigated by Sung-Ha Lee and colleagues. Discover how gut diversity connects to positive emotions, particularly in those dominated by *Prevotella*, and what a unique genus from the Lachnospiraceae family reveals about our feelings.

Abstract

This study investigated the association between emotional well-being and gut microbiome profiles in healthy Korean adults (n=83). Two enterotypes were identified, dominated by *Bacteroides* and *Prevotella*. Positive correlation between positive emotion and gut microbiome diversity (Shannon Index) was found only in the *Prevotella*-dominant group. A novel genus from the Lachnospiraceae family was associated with both positive and negative affect scores.
