Novel Technologies to assess Gut Health Claims for Carbohydrates
Subthema: MicrobiotaNaam trekker: Hauke SmidtAffiliatie: Wageningen UniversiteitContactgegevens: [email protected]
Key aims
• Characterize microbial networks responsible for fibre fermentation
• Track place & products of fermentation• Identify carbohydrates that stimulate specific populations and
products (e.g. butyrate producers)• Effect of carbohydrates on microbial determinants of
functionality (e.g. surface decoration)• Personalized ingredients - Differences between
individuals/enterotypes?
Key technologies needed
• HTP functional microbiomics approaches for whole microbiota & key populations
• Stable isotope-based identification of fermentative microbial networks
• HTP in vitro screening capacity• Carbohydrate metabolite profiling in intestinal
samples
Which microbes are there?
What are the microbes doing?
What is the genetic potential?
