Functional adaptations in the cecal and colonic metagenomes associated with the consumption of transglycosylated starch in a pig model

Abstract Background Both phylogeny and functional capabilities within the gut microbiota populations are of great importance for influencing host health. As a novel type of resistant starch, transglycosylated starch (TGS) modifies the microbial community and metabolite profiles along the porcine gut...
