Metagenomic Analysis of the Effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) on the Fecal Microbiota Structure in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the association between food composition and intestinal microbiota in the context of individual health is a critical problem in personalized nutrition. The objective of the present research was to elucidate the influence of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ST-III and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) on the intestinal microbiota structure. We found that L. plantarum ST-III and FOS interventions remarkably enhanced the levels of cecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially acetic, butyric, and valeric acids. Moreover, L. plantarum ST-III and/or FOS intervention obviously altered the intestinal microbiota structure. At the genus level, L. plantarum ST-III and/or FOS intervention remarkably elevated the proportion of Sutterella, Pediococ
