What is Verrucomicrobia?
Akkermansia muciniphila (phylum Verrucomicrobia) is a mucin-degrading bacteria, believed to contribute to intestinal health and glucose homeostasis [56,57]. It could represent 3%–5% of the bacterial community [58], mainly residing in the intestinal mucosa, an interface between the gut microbiome and host tissues [59].
