Prebiotic Wheat Bran Fractions Induce Specific Microbiota Changes

Prebiotic Wheat Bran Fractions Induce Specific Microbiota Changes

Wheat bran fibers are considered beneficial to human health through their impact on gut microbiota composition and activity. Here, we assessed the prebiotic potential of selected bran fractions by performing a series of fecal slurry anaerobic fermentation experiments using aleurone as well as total,...
