Studies of abilities of lactobacilli to ferment fiber in vitro, to survive the acidity of stomach and the bile acid contents of the small intestine, to adhere to the colonic mucosa, and to remain and function there after the supply stopped led us to identify a few human lactobacilli with great capability.	./cache/cord-006332-ikh45wuy.txt	./txt/cord-006332-ikh45wuy.txt
