Abstract
The nature of the diet (pellets, wheat, breakfast bran) ingested by conventional mice influenced the microbial production of indole, β-glucuronidase, urease, and volatile fatty acids in the caecum. We also observed that the nature of the mouse strain influenced the amount of urease activity present in the caecum.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
