From: Sucrose-preferring gut microbes prevent host obesity by producing exopolysaccharides
Gut microbes prevent host obesity through excess dietary sucrose intake via the exopolysaccharide (EPS)–short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)–carbohydrate metabolism axis and identified S. salivarius as a unique anti-obesity commensal bacterium.
