Ratio-Dependent Regulation of Butyrate Production by 2′-Fucosyllactose and Fructooligosaccharides in a Bifidobacterium bifidum-Faecalibacterium prausnitzii Co-Culture

An appropriate 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL) and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) mixing ratio may enhance butyrate production through substrate complementarity and metabolite-mediated interactions; however, the substrate balance required for this effect remains unclear. This study inves...
