Resistant Starch Is Actively Fermented by Infant Faecal Microbiota and Increases Microbial Diversity

In adults, fermentation of high amylose maize starch (HAMS), a resistant starch (RS), has a prebiotic effect. Were such a capacity to exist in infants, intake of RS might programme the gut microbiota during a critical developmental period. This study aimed to determine if infant faecal inocula posse...
