BackgroundThe relationship among the human gut microbiome, microbially produced metabolites, and health outcomes remains of great interest. To decrease participant burden, room-temperature storage methods for fecal samples have become increasingly important. However, kits for storing the fecal microbiome and metabolome have not been well explored. We hypothesized that storing fecal samples by drying them with silica gel may be suitable. ObjectivesThe objective was to evaluate the performance of...
