Investigation of exopolysaccharide production by lactic acid bacteria. (2008)
Thesis
JONES, R.A. 2008. Investigation of exopolysaccharide production by lactic acid bacteria. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

This thesis is an investigation into the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris. These are used in the dairy industry for the production of yoghurt... Read More about Investigation of exopolysaccharide production by lactic acid bacteria..

Diversity of the butyrate-producing microflora of the human gut. (1999)
Thesis

Butyrate, a C4 short-chain fatty acid, is one of the principal products of bacterial fermentations in the human colon and is the preferred energy source of the colonic epithelial cells in a healthy colon (Roediger, 1980). Potential protective roles h... Read More about Diversity of the butyrate-producing microflora of the human gut..

Fermentation of resistant starch: implications for colonic health in the monogastric animal. (1999)
Thesis
REID, C.-A. 1999. Fermentation of resistant starch: implications for colonic health in the monogastric animal. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Retrograded starches are commonly found in foods due to the production and/or processing conditions they have received prior to consumption. These resistant starches escape digestion in the small intestine and are fermented in the colon by the microf...

An in vitro study of the interactions of bacteria from the human colon. (1986)
Thesis
DUNCAN, A.J. 1986. An in vitro study of the interactions of bacteria from the human colon. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993268

An in vitro model system inoculated with human faeces was used to study the fermentation of mixtures of bran, cabbage, turnip, carrot and apple dietary fibres. The results suggested that the mixture in which a dietary fibre is supplied influenced its... Read More about An in vitro study of the interactions of bacteria from the human colon..
