An alternative pentose phosphate pathway in human gut bacteria for the degradation of C5 sugars in dietary fibers

8 Aug 2020

Abstract excerpt

The microbial degradation of pentoses in the human gut is a crucial factor for the utilization of plant-based dietary fibers. A vast majority of gut microbes are able to use these C5-sugars as a carbon and energy source. However, the underlying metabolic pathways are not fully understood. Bioinformatic analysis showed that a large number of abundant gut bacteria lack genes encoding a transaldolase as a key enzyme...
