Method overview of fecal lysate preparation and enzyme activity assay. Fresh-frozen or freshly collected fecal pellets were weighed, followed by vortex and sonicated in a mixture of phosphate buffer saline pH 7.4 and extraction buffer. Following centrifugation, the supernatant was isolated (fecal lysate) and used in a colorimetric enzymatic assay. The fecal lysate was divided into two tubes, and an enzyme assay was done for β-glucuronidase and β-glucosidase.
