Identification of Lactobacillus Strains Capable of Fermenting Fructo-Oligosaccharides and Inulin. [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Novel probiotic strains that can ferment prebiotics are important for functional foods. The utilization of prebiotics is strain specific, so we screened 86 Lactobacillus strains and compared them to Bifidobacterium breve 2141 for the ability to grow and produce SCFA when 1% inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) were provided as the carbon source in ...
