Epifluorescence visualization of FLA-ILN interactions in rumen samples enriched with inulin. (A) Bifidobacterium members identified using Bif228 FISH probe and (B) Lactobacillus members identified using Lac722 FISH probe, and their interactions with fluorescently labelled inulin (FLA-ILN) in a 3% inulin-enriched rumen sample taken after 2 d of incubation, and subsequently incubated with 0.2% FLA-ILN for 24 h. Cells were co-stained with DAPI. (C) Cell enumeration of rumen microbial communities incubated with FLA-ILN and Bif228, or (D) FLA-ILN and Lac722 FISH probe, in cultures sampled over time
