Abstract

Polysaccharide was a class of macromolecular substance with various bioactive functions. Gut symbiotic microorganisms could utilize the polysaccharides from various sources, thus have important impact on human health. Bacteroides represented one of the dominant colonizers in the human gut. The utilization of polysaccharide by Bacteroides was important for supporting the function and stability of gut microbiota. After the degradation of polysaccharides by Bacteroides, gut microbes could ferment the monosaccharides and oligosaccharides degraded from polysaccharides into some metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), amino acids, etc. Among the metabolites, the SCFAs could have beneficial effects on gut health. This review summarized the niches of Bacteroides among gut microbiota, and also described the gene clusters and membrane proteins involved in the utilization processes of polysaccharide by gut Bacteroides. SCFAs could act as energy substrates for intestinal epithelial cells, inhibit histone deacetylases and activate G protein-coupled receptors. In addition, the future perspectives in investigating new degradation pathways for polysaccharide, and using polysaccharides or their metabolites as therapeutic approaches for diseases mediated by the gut dysbiosis were also provided.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
