摘要

Integrative analysis of high-quality metagenomics and metabolomics data from fecal samples provides novel clues for the mechanism underpinning gut microbe-human interactions. However, data regarding the influence of fecal collection methods on both metagenomics and metabolomics are sparse. Six fecal collection methods (the gold standard [GS] [i.e., immediate freezing at -80°C with no solution], 95% ethanol, RNAlater, OMNIgene Gut, fecal occult blood test [FOBT] cards, and Microlution) were used to collect 88 fecal samples from eight healthy volunteers for whole-genome shotgun sequencing (WGSS) and untargeted metabolomic profiling. Metrics assessed included the abundances of predominant phyla and α- and β-diversity at the species, gene, and pathway levels. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated for microbes and metabolites to estimate (i) stability (day 4 versus day 0 within each method), (ii) concordance (day 0 for each method versus the GS), and (iii) reliability (day 4 for each method versus the GS). For the top 4 phyla and microbial diversity metrics at the species, gene, and pathway levels, generally high stability and reliability were observed for most methods except for 95% ethanol; similar concordances were seen for different methods. For metabolomics data, 95% ethanol showed the highest stability, concordance, and reliability (median ICCs = 0.71, 0.71, and 0.65, respectively). Taken together, OMNIgene Gut, FOBT cards, RNAlater, and Microlution, but not 95% ethanol, were reliable collection methods for gut metagenomic studies. However, 95% ethanol was the best for preserving fecal metabolite profiles. We recommend using separate collecting methods for gut metagenomic sequencing and fecal metabolomic profiling in large population studies. IMPORTANCE The choice of fecal collection method is essential for studying gut microbe-human interactions in large-scale population-based research. In this study, we examined the effects of fecal collection methods and storage time at ambient temperature on variations in the gut microbiome community composition; microbial diversity metrics at the species, gene, and pathway levels; antibiotic resistance genes; and metabolome profiling. Our findings suggest using different fecal sample collection methods for different data generation purposes. OMNIgene Gut, FOBT cards, RNAlater, and Microlution, but not 95% ethanol, were reliable collection methods for gut metagenomic studies. However, 95% ethanol was the best for preserving fecal metabolite profiles.
