Genomic reconstruction of short-chain fatty acid production by the human gut microbiota
11 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) including acetate, formate, propionate, and butyrate are the end products of dietary fiber and host glycan fermentation by the human gut microbiota (HGM). SCFAs produced in the column are of utmost importance for host physiology and health. Butyrate and propionate improve gut health and play a key role in the neuroendocrine and immune systems. Prediction of HGM metabolic potential...
