Default Fat bacteria?...

Research suggests that overweight and normal weight people have different microbes in our gut which could be the key to finding out why some people get obese...
Found in fecal matter this was then transplanted into mice..

'' The scientists found that mice stayed slim when they received faecal transplants from slim women, but put on much more fat when the samples came from the obese twin. Tests revealed that one type of bug, called Bacteroides, was more plentiful in slim women and protected the animals from putting on too much fat.

In a follow-up experiment, mice with microbes from the slim women shared a cage with mice that had microbes from obese women. Because of the animals' proclivity for coprophagia – that is their habit for eating each others' poo – this caused a mixing of the animals' gut microbes.

After the mice had spent 10 days as cage mates, the obese ones had become more lean. But this only happened if the animals were fed a healthy diet that was high in fibre and low in saturated fats. When the diet was switched to high-fat, low-fibre meals the obese mice remained overweight.''

''Bacteria from slim people could help treat obesity, study finds

Experiments show microbes from thin or fat people's intestines can cause mice to lose or gain weight''

Does this not just suggest that the obese poo contained more fat than the other?
