Microbial species involved in production of 1,2-sn-diacylglycerol and effects of phosphatidylcholine on human fecal microbiota

Article Abstract:

The quantification of 1,2-sn-diacylglycerol (DAG) production in phosphatidylcholine fermentations inoculated with fecal material obtained from healthy individuals and the assessment of the effects of enhanced DAG levels on the major bacterial groups found in the colon are reported. The results have provided evidence that fecal bacteria can produce DAG and that specific bacterial groups are involved in this process.

Analysis of fecal populations of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and investigation of the immunological responses of their human hosts to the predominant strains

Article Abstract:

Microbiological research shows that strains of the microorganisms lactobacilli and bifidobacteria found in human feces vary in number. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and ribotyping experiments were used to select that the most common strains for immunological studies. Immunological analysis suggests that antibodies react to the organism's genus and not its strain.
