Abstract
16S ribosomal DNA terminal restriction fragment patterns from rat fecal sam ples were analyzed to track the dynamics of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and discern bacterial populations that changed during feeding with NCFM. La ctobacillus johnsonii and Ruminococcus flavefaciens were tentatively identi fied as such bacterial populations. The presence of L. johnsonii was confir med by isolation from feces.
