| Abstract | The utilisation of various prebiotic oligosaccharides by probiotic strains of Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus was investigated in order to determine the synbiotic potential of various prebiotic/probiotic combinations. Analysis by HPLC and high-performance anion-exchange chromatography of the cell-free medium taken during growth of the three probiotic bacteria showed differences in the consumption of the various oligosaccharides. Analysis of galactooligosaccharides showed that both L.rhamnosus and B.lactis consumed mostly mono- and di-saccharide, while L.acidophilus consumed oligosaccharides up to trisaccharide. Both B.lactis and L.acidophilus utilised fructooligosaccharides and inulin, but showed different patterns of oligosaccharide consumption. Only L.rhamnosus grew on β-glucan oligosaccharides and preferentially consumed the trisaccharide. The results indicate the synbiotic potential of the various probiotic/prebiotic combinations, particularly L.acidophilus/galactooligosaccharides, L.acidophilus/fructooligosaccharides or inulin and L.rhamnosus/β-glucan oligosaccharides. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. |
