Functional metagenomics reveals novel pathways of prebiotic breakdown by human gut bacteria.

Functional metagenomics reveals novel pathways of prebiotic breakdown by human gut bacteria.

The human intestine hosts a complex bacterial community that plays a major role in nutrition and in maintaining human health. A functional metagenomic approach was used to explore the prebiotic breakdown potential of human gut bacteria, including non-cultivated ones. Two metagenomic libraries, const...
