It is well known that beta-glucan is not digestible by animals but can be used by probiotic bacteria in the colon.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the in vitro growth of mixtures of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria using dried algae (Aleta™) as the substrate in comparison with dextrose found in common media preparations.
