Scheiman et al. 2019 provides an example of a host-microbiome metabolic feedback loop, linking exercise-induced lactate to microbial propionate production and endurance performance. It’s an interesting example of how exercise shape the gut microbiome.

Meta-omics analysis of elite athletes identifies a performance-enhancing microbe that functions via lactate metabolism
