- Effects of Gut Microbes on Nutrient Absorption and Energy Regulation (2012, background): “Inulin consumption has been shown to lead to an enrichment of Bifidobacterium in infants(149) and, in particular, Bifidobacterium adolescentis in adults.(151) In infants, inulin consumption showed a reduction of Clostridia and coliforms.”
- Short chain fatty acids in human gut and metabolic health. (2020, neutral): “…studies investigating inulin-type-fructans are supported by human studies following dietary consumption and subsequent analyses of the faecal microbiota by molecular technologies such as 16S rRNA sequencing or real-time PCR (Dewulf et al. , 2013; Healey et al. , 2018; Ramirez-Farias et al. , 2009).”
- Dietary fiber and prebiotics and the gastrointestinal microbiota (2017, background): “For example, dietary consumption of fructans has been shown to result in increased butyrate concentrations even though the primary increases in bacteria following fructan consumption do not directly metabolize butryate.(34,62) Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, the main utilizers of fructans, are lact”

- Specificity of polysaccharide use in intestinal Bacteroides species determines diet-induced microbiota alterations (2010, neutral): “, 2006), and dietary fructan can result in expansion of Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, or Bacteroides (Kolida et al., 2007; Menne et al., 2000; Ramirez-Farias et al., 2008).”
- Diversity, metabolism and microbial ecology of butyrate-producing bacteria from the human large intestine. (2009, background): “A recent human volunteer study on the effect of the prebiotic inulin found a significant increase in the relative levels not only of Bifidobacterium species but also of F. prausnitzii (Ramirez-Farias et al., 2009).”
- Faecalibacterium prausnitzii: from microbiology to diagnostics and prognostics (2017, positive): “This supports the observed stimulation of this species in nutritional interventions with this prebiotic (Ramirez-Farias et al., 2009), and suggests that only some members of F.”
