The present disclosure relates oligosaccharide preparations suitable for use in nutritional compositions such as animal feed and methods of manufacturing the described oligosaccharide preparations. The present disclosure further relates to nutritional compositions that comprise the oligosaccharide preparations. The disclosed oligosaccharide preparations can be advantageous as an animal feed due to, at least in part, their prebiotic utility and the presence of anhydro-subunit containing oligosaccharides, which can be used to detect and/or determine the presence and content of the disclosed oligosaccharide preparations in the nutritional composition.

Oligosaccharide preparations and compositions

The present invention provides a method for producing thiamin products using a microorganism containing a mutation that causes it to overproduce and release thiamin products into the medium. Biologically pure cultures of the microorganisms and isolated polynucleotides containing the mutations are also provided. In addition, methods for detecting a pathogenic microorganism in a clinical sample, assays for identifying an antibiotic, as well as, antibiotics identified by such assays are provided.

Thiamin production by fermentation

The present Invention relates to enzymes involved in the Synthesis of Coenzyme Q-10, i.e., decaprenyl diphosphate (DPP) synthase and 4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, to isolated DNA encoding said enzymes and to methods for the microbial production of Coenzyme Q-10.
