Project Details
Description
This project constitutes workpackage 2 in the ’Prebiotic Center, headed by Anne Meyer at DTU Chemical Engeneering. The task of the Gut Ecology group at the Nationel Food Institutes, Technical University of Denmark in the Center approach is to test for effects of novel carbohydrate preparations on the intestinal microbiota which may be relevant for human health. Specifically, we focus on the possibilities to prevent outbreaks of Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
We perform small-scale batch fermentations in pure cultures as well as in intestinal communities derived from healthy subjects and from subjects suffering from UC.
We analyse microbiota composition and metabolites produced by host and bacteria.
