  • Increased Butyrate Production

  • Low evidence

  supplementation with Bifidobacterium bifidum G9-1 (BBG9-1) has been established to enhance the production of butyrate... we detected significant increases in the production of SCFAs in cocultures compared to monocultures... these findings indicate that butyrate-producing bacteria increase butyrate production by utilizing BBG9-1-produced lactate and acetate.
