|
| Method |
Researchers developed a three-stage compound
continuous culture system that enables the activities of intestinal
bacteria to be studied under the low pH, carbohydrate-
excess conditions that characterize the proximal colon,
as well as the carbohydrate-depleted, nonacidic environmemt
that is analogous to the distal bowel |
