Impact of carbohydrate substrate complexity on the diversity of the human colonic microbiota
8 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
The diversity of the colonic microbial community has been linked with health in adults and diet composition is one possible determinant of diversity. We used carefully controlled conditions in vitro to determine how the complexity and multiplicity of growth substrates influence species diversity of the human colonic microbiota. In each experiment, five parallel anaerobic fermenters that received identical faecal...
