Evaluation of probiotic bacteria for their effects on the growth performance and intestinal microbiota of newly-weaned pigs fed fermented high-moisture maize

Intestinal microbiota diversity and expression of pattern recognition receptors in newly weaned piglets

“…Through the use of DGGE, studies have analyzed the effects of dietary compounds, e.g., probiotics [22], plant extracts [23], prebiotics [24], and fermented corn [25], on the intestinal microbiota of weaning piglets. However, few studies have focused on the changes in gastrointestinal microbial diversity caused by weaning itself.…”

Gut microbiota and autism

“…行为(如刻板行为、社会交互和玩耍行为减少等)和神 经 炎 性 反 应 [113,114] . ASD 儿 童 粪 便 中 丙 酸 含 量 升 高 [115] , 可能与患者肠道梭状芽孢杆菌、拟杆菌和脱 硫弧菌增加有关, 这些细菌都能产生丙酸 [116] .…”

Diversity of the Intestinal Bacteria of Cattle Fed on Diets with Different Doses of Gelatinized Starch-Urea

“…The QuantityOne software package (Bio-Rad Laboratories) was used to quantitatively compare patterns in the 16S rRNA gene DGGE for use in calculating bacterial community diversity and to generate matrices for use in the generation of dendrograms describing community similarity. Dendrograms were constructed using the unweighted pair group mean average method [22]. Bacterial community diversity was measured using Shannon-Weaver (H) and Simpson diversity (D = 1 -k) indices [23].…”
