Reduction of Redox Potential Exerts a Key Role in Modulating Gut Microbial Taxa and Function by Dietary Supplementation of Pectin in a Pig Model

Abstract

Collective studies indicate that pectin degradation promotes extensive microorganisms that can be involved in pectin degradation directly or indirectly, or benefit from the altered physiological conditions caused by pectin ingestions. Our study focuses on effects of pectin on gut microbial taxa and functions, as well as its interactions with altered environmental features.
