Konjac glucomannan hydrolysate beneficially modulates bacterial composition and activity within the faecal microbiota

The prebiotic potential of a konjac glucomannan hydrolysate (GMH) was investigated in vitro using batch cultures inoculated with human faeces. Bacterial enumeration was carried out using the culture independent technique, fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH), and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) pr...
