Abstract:Megasphaera elsdenii has been correlated with gas production by human faecal microbiota during fermentation. The objective of this study was to determine the role of M. elsdenii in gas production by the microbiome. Kidney beans and sweet potatoes were subjected to in vitro digestion and dialysis followed by fermentation with ten faecal microbiomes: three with detectable M. elsdenii (Me_D) and seven with no detectable M. elsdenii (Me_ND). Me_D microbiomes produced more gas than the Me_ND microbiomes (p < 0.001)… Show more
