Fiber-utilizing capacity varies in Prevotella- versus Bacteroides-dominated gut microbiota

Abstract The gut microbiota of individuals are dominated by different fiber-utilizing bacteria, which ferment dietary fiber into short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) known to be important for human health. Here, we show that the dominance of Prevotella versus Bacteroides in fecal innocula, identified int...
