Abstract:The interplay between gut microbiota (GM) and host via degradation of dietary components leading to the production of metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) is affected by a range of factors including colonic pH and carbohydrate source. Here we investigate how differences in colonic pH influence GM composition and metabolite production using different substrates including inulin, lactose, Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), and Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) in an in vitro colon setup. We investigated 3 d… Show more
