Decoding dietary pectin: from structural complexity and microbial CAZyme–PUL networks to cross-feeding and host-beneficial metabolites
This review systematically examines the pathways through which pectin is degraded by the gut microbial consortia, with a central focus on the role of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), and proposes that future efforts should focus on achieving a more comprehensive understanding of microbial and enzymatic mechanisms...
