   Indole produced during dysbiosis mediates host–microorganism chemical communication

   Rui-Qiu Yang, Yong-Hong Chen ... Cheng-Gang Zou

   In C. elegans, neuronic TRPA-1 senses bacterial accumulation by detecting indole production to up-regulate lysozyme genes via FOXO/DAF-16 in the intestine, thereby delaying microbial dysbiosis.
