The intestinal microbiota structure was significantly influenced by the probiotic treatment while still maintaining a stable core dominant community of Enterobacteriacea. The colony with these microbiome had the most improved potential functions in terms of gut microbes as well as the carbohydrates active enzymes most improved potential functions. |
