• Bacterial metabolism and health‐related effects of galacto‐oligosaccharides and other prebiotics (2007, background): “However, the butyrigenicity of FOS has been reported by other workers (Topping and Clifton 2001), and recent work by Belenguer et al. (2006) has shown how butyrate-producing species such as Anaerostipes caccae and Eubacterium halli can cross-feed on lactate produced by Bif. adolescentis growing on…”
• Strategies for culture of 'unculturable' bacteria. (2010, background): “There may be crossfeeding or metabolic cooperation between species for the provision of nutrients (Belenguer et al., 2006), such as the production of lactic acid (through fermentation of carbohydrates) by Streptococcus mutans, which is utilized as a source of carbon by Veillonella spp.”
• Intestinal Short Chain Fatty Acids and their Link with Diet and Human Health (2016, background): “Several in vitro studies confirm that lactate and/or acetate produced by Bifidobacterium when grown in oligofructose, is used by members of Roseburia, Eubacterium, and Anaeroestipes genera (Duncan et al., 2004a,b; Belenguer et al., 2006; Falony et al., 2006).”
• Diversity, metabolism and microbial ecology of butyrate-producing bacteria from the human large intestine. (2009, background): “Bacterial conversion of lactate to butyrate by mixed human faecal bacteria has been demonstrated by several groups using stable isotopes (Bourriaud et al., 2005; Belenguer et al., 2006, 2007; Morrison et al., 2006).”
• Environments that Induce Synthetic Microbial Ecosystems (2010, background): “1A), or through bidirectional cross-feeding [8,10,11,14,15].”
• Interactions and competition within the microbial community of the human colon: links between diet and health. (2007, background): “hallii strain unable to use starch was shown to result in butyrate formation via cross-feeding (Belenguer et al., 2006).”
• The Pervasive Effects of an Antibiotic on the Human Gut Microbiota, as Revealed by Deep 16S rRNA Sequencing (2008, background): “However, many of the changes in the community are likely to be explained by indirect effects, mediated by ecological interactions among taxa such as resource competition, crossfeeding, or the cooperative lysis of polymeric substrates[72,73].”
• Understanding the effects of diet on bacterial metabolism in the large intestine (2007, background): “hominis, a butyrate producer which is unable to utilize lactate (Belenguer et al. 2006).”
• Development of the Human Infant Intestinal Microbiota (2007, background): “In addition, progressive changes in the gut environment, due to intrinsic developmental changes in the gut mucosa, transition to an ‘‘adult’’ diet, and the effects of the microbiota itself [44,49–51], may impose increasingly stringent selection for the most highly adapted bacteria.”
