Predicted functionality of the GOS-enhanced microbiota. (a) The cellobiose and glutamate bacterial transporters were overrepresented in the prebiotic group. (b) Pathway KO00511 (Other glycan degradation), with genes overrepresented in the GOS group in the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway. (c) Genes responsible for initiation of fatty acid biosynthesis overrepresented in the GOS groups. (d) Summary of the gut metabolic processes and potentially responsible microorganisms that participate in biotransformation of GOS. Blue boxes indicate organisms known to carry out the enzymatic process, while green boxes are potential new players in the intestinal cross feeding of GOS. Depiction was based on our results and published research studies.17–21
