Gastrointestinal ecology and histology of rats monoassociated with anaerobic bacteria.

C L Wells, E Balish
PMCID: PMC291313  PMID: 7356318

Abstract

Pure cultures of anaerobic bacteria colonized the gastrointestinal tracts of germfree rats and induced an increase in the cellularity of intestinal tissue.
