16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of human fecal microbiota
Neurotransmitters such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) produced by gut bacteria improve the mental health of the host. Therefore, prebiotics that increase GABA production by intestinal bacteria also have a function as psychobiotics. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of water-soluble cellulose acetate (WSCA), which is known as prebiotics, on GABA production by human gut microbiota.
