Identification of Bacteroides acidifaciens as an Arabinoxylan-Responsive Gut Bacterium Using D-Amino Acid Metabolic Probe Technology

Key Points

The aim is to identify the gut bacterium Bacteroides acidifaciens and its response to arabinoxylan.
Utilized D-amino acid metabolic probe technology to monitor gut bacteria responses.
Measured short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production and evaluated intestinal barrier function.
Arabinoxylan significantly increased SCFA production by Bacteroides acidifaciens.
Enhanced intestinal barrier function was noted, indicating positive health impacts.

Abstract

and arabinoxylan further enhanced SCFA production and improved intestinal barrier function. These findings advance our understanding of arabinoxylan-microbiota interactions and may guide the development of functional foods with enhanced health benefits.
