but not the fructo-oligosaccharides with higher DP (data not
shown).
3.2. Pronounced difference in inulin-fermenting capability with high
molecular weight inulin from dahlia as substrate
For assessment of the capability of fermentation of high molecular weight inulin, MRS medium with dahlia inulin in place of glucose was used. As shown in Table 1, the strains L. paracasei
KCTC3165, KCTC13090 and KCTC13169 produced 13–17 g/L of lactic
