Enumeration of L. acidophilus by selective methods was verified by phenotypic identification of representative isolates. The total lactic acid bacteria (LAB) population ranged between 10⁸ and 10¹⁰ colony-forming units per gram of faeces over the 3 months period. L. acidophilus contributed on average a relatively constant figure of 10 % to the total LAB population.en©ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). ©University of Pretoria.
