The Capacity of the Fecal Microbiota From Malawian Infants to Ferment Resistant Starch.

abstract：:Bacterial endophytes (BEs) are non-pathogenic residents of healthy plant tissues that can confer benefits to plants. Many Bacterial endophytes have been shown to contribute to plant growth and health, alleviation of plant stress and to in-planta contaminant-degradation. This study examined the endophytic bacterial com...
