Short-Chain Fatty Acids Modulate Healthy Gut Microbiota Composition and Functional Potential
14 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Many studies have focused on the metabolic capacity of human gut microbiota to produce short-chain fatty acids and subsequent effects on host physiology. Given scarce data on how SCFAs produced by gut bacteria participate in cross-feeding to influence community structure and function, we evaluated the potential of SCFAs to modulate human gut microbiota in vitro. We employed anaerobic fecal cultivation in...
