In vitro fermentation of linear and α-1,2-branched dextrans by the human fecal microbiota

The role of structure and molecular weight in fermentation selectivity in linear α-1,6 dextrans and dextrans with α-1,2 branching was investigated. Fermentation by gut bacteria was determined in anaerobic, pH-controlled fecal batch cultures after 36h. Inulin (1%, wt/vol), which is a known prebiotic,...
