Abstract
Rates of oxalate degradation by microbes in gastrointestinal contents from rabbits, guinea pigs, swine, and a horse increased after addition of oxalate to diets. A similar response was previously observed with ruminal microbes from cattle and sheep. Bacteria that utilize oxalate for growth appear to be selected by increased levels of dietary oxalate.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
