The Effect of New Zealand Kanuka, Manuka and Clover Honeys on Bacterial Growth Dynamics and Cellular Morphology Varies According to the Species
While the general trend in effectiveness of growth inhibition was manuka>manuka-kanuka blend>kanuka>clover, the honeys had varying and diverse effects on the growth and cellular morphology of each bacterium, and each organism had a unique response profile to these honeys.

Northern and Western analyses showed that expression of this short operon of three genes is increased during growth on mucin, and two putative genes identified which are likely to be coexpressed with this sulfatase, though their activities are unknown.
Arabinogalactan proteins contribute to the immunostimulatory properties of New Zealand honeys

It is proposed that the immunostimulatory properties of individual honeys relate to their particular content of LPS, apalbumins, the 5.8 kDa component and AGPs, which are particularly dependent on AGPs derived from the nectar of kanuka flowers.

Insight is provided into the metabolic transformation of RS by intestinal bacterial communities directly within a gut ecosystem, which will finally help to better understand its prebiotic potential and possible applications in human health.
RNA-Based Stable Isotope Probing Suggests Allobaculum spp. as Particularly Active Glucose Assimilators in a Complex Murine Microbiota Cultured In Vitro
- E. Herrmann, W. Young, M. Egert
- BiologyBioMed Research International
- 16 February 2017
RNA-SIP combined with metabolic profiling of 13C-labeled products allowed insights into the microbial assimilation of a general model substrate, demonstrating the appropriateness of this technology to study assimilation processes of nutritionally more relevant substrates in the gut microbiota of mice as a model system.
Addition of plant dietary fibre to a raw red meat high protein, high fat diet, alters the faecal bacteriome and organic acid profiles of the domestic cat (Felis catus)

- 1 May 2019
It is shown that diets of different macronutrient proportions can strongly influence the faecal microbiome composition and metabolism, as shown by altered organic acid concentrations andFaecal pH, in the domestic cat.
