Extracellular metabolite production by Bacteroides strains varies depending on carbohydrates used as carbon sources

Surprisingly, the production of extracellular metabolites differed between growth on a homopolysaccharide and its constituent monosaccharide, indicating that the metabolite output of gut species is not static but varies with the nutrients present, adding to the complexity of the interplay among dietary fiber, microbial...
