Fermentation of human stool with prebiotics alters microbial community structure and increases the production of SCFA.
A stool slurry was incubated with fiber (24 h stool fermentation). Three experimental replicates per treatment were conducted, two of which were used for microbiota sequencing (each represented as a separate column). All fibers promoted SCFA production with fiber-specific effects noted for each SCFA (Fig.
