In vitro and ex vivo metabolism of chemically diverse fructans by bovine rumen Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species [PDF]
Animal MicrobiomeBackground Inulin and inulin-derived fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are well-known prebiotics for use in companion animals and livestock. The mechanisms by which FOS contribute to health has not been fully established.

Fructans and fructan‐metabolizing enzymes in leaves of Lolium perenne [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2001 Summary Longitudinal variability is reported in internal carbon partitioning as is the activity of enzymes involved in fructan synthesis during leaf development of Lolium perenne cv. Bravo. Sink activity was reduced in L. perenne plants by cooling the roots while continuous illumination enhanced source activity, resulting in preferential accumulation ...

Testing water-soluble carbohydrate QTL effects in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) by marker selection [PDF]
, 1998 Water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) are an important factor determining the nutritional value of grass forage and development of genetic markers for selection of WSC traits in perennial ryegrass would benefit future breeding programmes.

Effects of fructans-type prebiotics on lipid metabolism [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2001 Several nondigestible but fermentable dietary carbohydrates are able to regulate lipemia and triglyceridemia in both humans and animals. The mechanism of their serum lipid-lowering effect remains to be elucidated. Oligofructose, which is a mixture of nondigestible and fermentable fructans, can decrease triacylglycerol in VLDL when given to rats.

Fructan and fructan‐metabolizing enzymes in the growth zone of barley leaves [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1997 SUMMARYTo study the role of fructan in leaf development of barley seedlings, fructan contents and the activities of enzymes involved in fructan metabolism were measured in segments of the third leaf at the stage of maximal growth. Fructans amounted to more than 10% of the d. wt in the growth zone at the base of the developing leaf and decreased sharply
