Gluconic acid reaches the large intestine to stimulate lactic acid bacteria. However, the fermentation pattern of gluconic acid has yet to be elucidated. Accordingly, we examined the fermentation properties induced by gluconic acid in the pig cecal digesta in vitro. We also tested sorbitol and glucose, substrates for which the fermentation rate and patterns are known. The gluconic acid–utilizin...

conclusions overall, the results showed that some of the high potential probiotic lab species existed in iranian poultry. results amongst all of the examined lab, 30.3% were resistant to bile and acid. most of the isolated lab (57.1%) belonged to the genus lactobacillus with lactobacillus brevis (78.1%) as the dominant species followed by l. reuteri (16.6%), l. plantarum (3%), and l. vaginalis ...
