Modelling the gut microbiota of children with malnutrition: in vitro models reveal differences in fermentability of widely consumed carbohydrates

This study uses an in vitro model to show that inulin is poorly fermented by the gut microbiota of children with severe acute malnutrition, while legume-based feeds and milk oligosaccharides are more effectively fermented.

Linking carbohydrate structure with function in the human gut microbiome using hybrid metagenome assemblies

This study uses hybrid metagenome assemblies to analyze how structurally distinct carbohydrates affect gut microbiome composition and function by identifying carbohydrate-degrading microbes and their enzymatic capabilities.
