Document Summary
The latter confer different chemical characteristics on the hemicellulose: digestibility/fermentability of the hemicelluloses (by intestinal microflora) is also influenced by the particular sugars and their positions. For example, hexose and uronic acid are more readily recognized by bacterial enzymes than the other hemicellulose sugars, so hemicelluloses containing them are more easily broken down by bacteria. Which explains why hemicellulose-rich foods such as wheat bran and whole grains do what they do: pectins, pectins have a complex and not exact structure. Backbone is most often -1- 4 linked d-galacturonic acid. 11/01/2019: bacteria can be grouped according to the type of substrate fermented and are categorized into 11 distinct groups of rumen bacteria. Most species of bacteria are capable of fermenting more than one substrate: the methane-producing bacteria are a special class of microorganisms responsible for regulating the overall fermentation in the rumen, archaea. If the h and co2 isn"t taken out of the system, if backs up the process.
