SynbioticLactobacillus acidophilusNCFM and cellobiose does not affect human gut bacterial diversity but increases abundance of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and branched-chain fatty acids: a randomized, double-blinded cross-over trial

In this study, effects of a novel synbiotic on the composition and metabolic activity of human gut microbiota were investigated.
