Metagenomic sequences of in vitro fermentation using a porcine and human fecal inoculum
This study aims to investigate what microbes capable of utilizing plant cell wall polysaccharides and their functions. The submitted metagenomic sequences include three in vitro fermentation experiments (P1, P2 &amp; H). Of P1, wheat arabinoxylan and rye arabinoxylan were fermented for up to 48 h with a porcine faecal inoculum. Of P2, wheat arabinoxylan and tamarind galactoxyloglucan were fermented for up 72 h with a porcine fecal inoculum. For H, wheat arabinoxylan and tamarind galactoxyloglucan were fermented for up 48 h with a human fecal inoculum. The polysaccharides were the only carbon source in the medium for microbial growth.
