Complex carbohydrates / Complex polysaccharides can be fermented by gut microbiota to produce metabolites, such as SCFAs
The extraction of energy from otherwise indigestible common polysaccharides occurs because microbiota components can adaptively deploy an extensive array of Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) / Alfa-glucosidases and Polysaccharide lyases (PLs) that we hum…
