Abstract
- The bacterial growth, carbohydrate consumption and metabolite production of Bifidobacterium strains grown on fructose, oligofructose or inulin are kinetically analyzed. The variations have shown niche-specific adaptation of bifidobacteria and have in vivo implications on the strain specificity of the stimulatory effect of inulin-type fructans on bifidobacteria.
