The role of food factor in the forming of the variety of the characteristics of fecal microbiocenosis in rats

: The researchers studied mechanisms of the forming of fecal microbiocenosis in rats on different diets. The composition of nutritional elements had a significant effect on the qualitative and quantitative composition of both indigenous and transitory fecal microflora. Under scant diet, the leading role in the forming of intestinal microbiocenosis belonged to macroorganism characteristics, while under excessive nutrition intestinal microbiocenosis depended mostly on the composition of the dietary intake. The study found that excessive nutrition lowered competition for the nutrition substrate, and indigenous microflora no more prevented the growth of transitory one.
