Abstract:This study aimed to explore the impact of xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) on the in vitro proliferation of ninety-four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains derived from the rabbit gut. LAB strains with a strong capability to utilize XOS were identified. The molecular mechanisms of XOS metabolism by LAB strains and their probiotic characteristics were investigated based on whole genome sequencing and phenotypic analysis. The results revealed that XOS efficiently promoted the proliferation of thirty-four LAB strains (3… Show more
