Overview of gut microbiota interactions in SCFA production and degradation. Figure depicts an overview of gut microbiota interactions in SCFA production and degradation, including substrates associated with bacterial utilization. Compared to Bacteroides spp., the Firmicutes phylum encompasses fewer genes for polysaccharide degradation, implying this phylum plays a vital role in nutrition metabolic pathways. Complex interactions also exist among intestinal fungi and dietary fibers (185). Compiled from Ref. (69, 164–168, 174, 175, 183, 185–206).
