<i>Ruminococcus bromii</i> enables the growth of proximal <i>Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron</i> by releasing glucose during starch degradation
2022-02-07
Abstract excerpt
Complex carbohydrates shape the gut microbiota and the collective fermentation of resistant starch by gut microbes positively affects human health through enhanced butyrate production. The keystone species Ruminococcus bromii ( Rb ) is a specialist in degrading resistant starch; its degradation products are used by other bacteria including Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron ( Bt ). We analyzed the metabolic and spat...
