Abstract
The Prevotella enterotype type is a human traditional enterotype with high dietary fiber intake, which is related to healthy ageing and Parkinson’s disease development. Manipulations of the dwelled gut microbes by dietary isomalto-oligosaccharides efficiently sustained Prevotella type enterotypes, indicating that it can be used in the improvement of elderly health by increasing the gut transit time.
