Journal ArticleDOI
Fermentation of mucin and plant polysaccharides by strains of Bacteroides from the human colon.
TL;DR: The ability to utilize mucins and plant polysaccharides varied considerably among the Bacteroides species tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fermentation of mucins and plant polysaccharides by anaerobic bacteria from the human colon.
TL;DR: Porcine gastric mucin, which was fermented by some strains of Ruminococcus torques and Bifidobacterium bifidum, was the only mucin utilized by any of the strains tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of polysaccharides by intestinal bacterial enzymes
TL;DR: The metabolic activity of the flora could be altered considerably by the amount and type of fiber in the diet, even though the composition ofThe flora itself remained unchanged.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakdown of mucin and plant polysaccharides in the human colon
TL;DR: To obtain an estimate of the extent to which complex carbohydrates are degraded by bacteria in the human colon, aqueous extracts of colon contents from four human subjects were separated into high and low molecular weight fractions by chromatography on a Sephadex G-100 column.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex carbohydrate breakdown in the human colon
TL;DR: Results indicate that dietary fiber and mucin are degraded in the human colon.
