Investigating the growth-promoting activity of specific poly- and oligosaccharides on lactobacilli

Abstract

Study of the prebiotic potential of the poly- and oligosaccharides extracted from the mushroom Lentinula edodes on the probiotic bacterial strains Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus by the development of an extraction and purification procedure to isolate the carbohydrate content of the Lentinula edodes.
