Genomics of Probiotics and Prebiotics

Probiotic microscopic organisms from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species have a place with the Firmicutes and the Actinobacteria phylum, individually. Lactobacilli are individuals of the lactic acid microscopic organisms (LAB) gathering, an extensively characterized group of microorganisms that age different hexoses into basically lactic acid. Lactobacilli are normally low G + C gram-positive species which are phylogenetically with more than 100 species recorded to date. Bifidobacteria are hetero-fermentative, high G + C content microscopic organisms with around 30 types of bifidobacteria depicted to date. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are both autochthonous (normally happening) and allochthonous (transient) inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) when conveyed as probiotic societies. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are utilized broadly as probiotics; live smaller scale living microorganisms which, when regulated in sufficient amount to give a medical advantage on the host.
