Bibliography: leaves 167-195. / The primary aim of the project was, therefore, to analyse carbohydrate metabolism for the identification of and/or the development of prebiotic substrates, and to provide a molecular characterisation for their utilisation. Several carbohydrates were tested for their ability to support the growth of bifidobacteria as a sole carbohydrate source. The four bifidobacterial strains, B. breve, B. bifidum, B. longum and B. lactis were able to utilise a wide variety of substrates.
