Abstract
on UPA and UPSP was species dependent, and UPP can better maintain the diversity and stability of the Bacteroidales community. This study indicated that polysaccharides from edible brown seaweed can benefit host health by improving the intestinal microecology, which can be helpful for the application of edible brown seaweed in health foods.
