Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced by fermentative bacteria can be used instead of high value carbohydrates like glucose to reduce the costs associated mixotrophic microalgal cultivation. This process is however limited a poor assimilation butyrate and low tolerance microalgae VFA concentrations. In this study, 10 strains, isolated from local natural environments or selected culture collectio...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become a major problem around the world. Current research has linked a high dietary fibre (DF)intake with a number of health benefits and possible prevention of T2D. One proposed mechanism is via short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are produced from fermentation of DF in the colon by the microflora. A high DF intake will cause higher concentration of SCFA in the bloo...

Nine young adult (1.73 ± 0.03 yr) male cats were used to determine the effects of microbial adaptation to select dietary fiber sources on changes in pH in vitro and on total and hydrogen gas, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), and branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA) production. Cats were adapted to diets containing 4% cellulose, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), or pectin for 30 d before fecal sampling. E...

This study aims to the process of fabricating and characterization nanofibers based on cellulose acetate polymer filled with ceftriaxone ibuprofen using electrospinning method as a model for targeted drug delivery system. Cellulose has been successfully fabricated into ibuprofen. The resulting have an average diameter in range 412.5 – 558.5 nm under conditions process, namely 22 kV voltage, 15 ...

In this experiment, B. subtilis was added to pelletized straw-based total mixed ration, and the rumen microbial diversity of house-fed Duhan hybrid sheep compared. Ten 3-month-old weaned lambs were separated into two groups fattened for 80 days using a single-factor trial design. During fattening period, control experiment fed with same except that group supplemented subtilis. The results showe...
