In this study the effect of bean tempeh on the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei bacteria was investigated. Antibacterial activity was observed only in relation to the bacteria Bacillus subtilis. The effect of tempeh products on human intestinal microflora was also assessed. Bean and soy tempeh were culinarily processed and next...

The research featured the effect of a diet fortified with essential microelements on ruminal microbiota young rams. Ruminal is largely responsible for feed digestibility and body functioning cattle.
 study involved contents rumens jejuna seven-month-old rams Edilbaev breed, which were subjected to biofortified diet. included Russian additives Yoddar-Zn DAFS-25 represent protein-carbohydrat...

The digestive physiology of the germ-free animal has a number of characteristics (cecal hypertrophy, slower small intestine cell renewal, slower gastric emptying and intestinal transit) which distinguish it from that of the conventional animal. If the germ-free model is to be used to determine the role of gastrointestinal microflora in the nutrition of the conventional animal, it is essential t...

We present bacterial biogeography as sampled from the human gastrointestinal tract of four healthy subjects. This study generated >32 million paired-end sequences of bacterial 16S rRNA genes (V3 region) representing >95,000 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs; 97% similarity clusters), with >99% Good's coverage for all samples. The highest OTU richness and phylogenetic diversity was found ...

Rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas are all classified as hindgut fermenters, depending on primarily cecal microflora for nutrient composition. The rabbit has some unique anatomical features including the sacculus rotundus and the vermiform appendix. Gastrointestinal disorders in these animals can be a challenge to clinicians as not only the motility of the hindgut must be maintained, but the...

Germfree and conventional rats were given a semi-synthetic diet containing either normal cornstarch or an amylomaize starch. The experimental groups thus formed were compared to assess the effects of these two types of starch and to determine if digestive tract microflora was involved in these effects. The presence of amylomaize starch decreased body growth in germfree and conventional rats, in...

the purpose of this study is to describe the histological and histochemical features of digestive tract intwo aquarium fishes with different types of feeding habits which are omnivorous (walking catfish) andcarnivorous (piranha), respectively. five adult walking catfish (l: 26.4 ± 3.4 cm, w: 265 ± 55 g) and fiveadult piranha (l: 23.6 ± 4.5 cm, w: 247 ± 50 g) were used for this study. the fishes...

histological development of digestive tract of the persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) from hatching to fingerling size was studied using light microscope. the digestive tract of newly hatched larvae was a simple tube which continued from mouth to anus. in 7 days post hatching, digestive tract became differentiated and secretion was started smoothly, with appearance of goblet cells in epithel...

Histological development of digestive tract of the Caspian salmon, Salmo trutta caspius, from hatching to 6 month post-hatching was studied using light microscope. The digestive tract of newly hatched larvae was a simple, undifferentiated tube which continued from mouth to anus. In 10 days post hatching larvae, the alimentary canal became more differentiated and secretion was started activity, ...
