Waste in the Gut: Peptidoglycans of Bacterial Origin
Optimal gastrointestinal function is influenced by many factors, including gut microbiota and the way it interacts with the host. In fact, the gastrointestinal microbiota has proven to modulate the development of the gastrointestinal tract and improve its morphology, stimulating the development of the gastrointestinal immune system, promoting host nutrition and reducing gastrointestinal pathogens. Therefore, the gastrointestinal microbiota has a significant impact on host or animal welfare.

Structure of peptidoglycans and the impact on gastrointestinal tract functionality
Research strives to elucidate meaningful relationships between the host mucosal immune system, the microbiome, and feed ingredients. As we search deeper and consider non‐ingredient components, the peptidoglycan (PGN) content in the GIT lumen and subsequent effects on digestibility and absorption looms into view.
