Microbiota-directed fibre activates both targeted and secondary metabolic shifts in the distal gut

Microbiota-directed fibre activates both targeted and secondary metabolic shifts in the distal gut

Here, the authors tailor an acetylated galactoglucomannan (AcGGM) fibre from spruce wood to specifically enrich Roseburia and Faecalibacterium - beneficial species which have the enzymatic machinery to breakdown the fibre and generate butyrate. They subsequently perform a piglet feeding trial, metag...
