Effect on components of the intestinal microflora and plasma neuropeptide levels of feeding Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Bifidobacterium lactis, and inulin to adult and elderly rats
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to compare the effects of the mixture of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. rhamnosus strain GG, Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 and inulin on intestinal populations of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and enterobacteria in adult and elderly rats fed the same diet. The results indicate that the physiological status of the GI tract, and not just diet, has a major role in the regulation of important groups of the GI bacteria community, since even the outcome of the dietary modification with synbiotics depends on the ages of the animals.

Development of high-throughput phenotyping of metagenomic clones from the human gut microbiome for modulation of eukaryotic cell growth
Article Abstract:
The development of high-throughput phenotyping of metagenomic clones from the human gut microbiome for modulation of eukaryotic cell growth is being described. The combination of transposon mutagenesis and subcloning is demonstrated to be the best method for the identification of the loci involved.

Survival of Lactobacillus casei in the human digestive tract after consumption of fermented milk
Article Abstract:
The trial was conducted to study the ileal and fecal survival of Lactobacillus casei DN-114 001 ingested in fermented milk. It is concluded that L. casei DN-114 001 survives well during its transit through the human gut.
