Abstract
decreased significantly, and the ability to degrade carbohydrates and synthesize fatty acids was greater. Regression modeling showed that the key microbiota could predict the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels, with FOS associated with the ecological roles of CARG2 and CARG7 and inulin associated with CARG4, which provides the basis for the use of prebiotics in nutritional applications and the stratification of populations based on pertinent microbiota profiles to explain the incongruent health effects in human intervention studies.
