A Long-Chain Dextran Produced by <i>Weissella cibaria</i> Boosts the Diversity of Health-Related Gut Microbes Ex Vivo

Long-chain dextrans are α-glucans that can be produced by lactic acid bacteria. NextDext<sup>TM</sup>, a specific long-chain dextran with a high degree of polymerisation, produced using <i>Weissella cibaria</i>, was recently shown to exert prebiotic potential in vitro. In thi...
