Probiotics: History and Evolution
Probiotics are viable microbial species, which are ingested for the purpose of altering the gastrointestinal flora in a manner, which confers health benefits. Currently available probiotic products include a wide array of bacterial and fungal species which are consumed in a variety of preparations. The use of microbials originated (unintentionally) centuries ago when people first noted the bene...
متن کاملNiche-Specific Genome Evolution in Gastrointestinal Probiotics
Probiotics are defined as health-promoting microbes which confer health benefits upon the host. Lactobacillus is regarded as the most diverse probiotic genus which harbors over 200 species among which are many strains with proved functional probiotic characteristics [1-3]. The economic significance of probiotics have courage scientists to study the biochemistry, genomics, phylogeny and physiolo...
متن کاملModelling river history and evolution.
Over the last few decades, a suite of numerical models has been developed for studying river history and evolution that is almost as diverse as the subject of river history itself. A distinction can be made between landscape evolution models (LEMs), alluvial architecture models, meander models, cellular models and computational fluid dynamics models. Although these models share some similaritie...
متن کاملEmerging importance of holobionts in evolution and in probiotics
The existence of microbe free animals or plants in nature is virtually impossible as they and plants have a certain degree of symbiotic association with microbes. This symbiotic association leads to the formation of holobiont (host and its symbionts). This mutual coexistence is not merely at the physical or chemical level but also at the genetic level leading to the emergence of the concept of ...
متن کاملLife history and morphological evolution
Morphological evolution is influenced by a wide variety of processes, at levels that likely range from molecules to communities, or even ecosystems. The relative contributions of these processes and other biological properties to morphological evolution in individual lineages, and their ultimate role in mediating the evolutionary success of these groups, remain fundamental problems in evolution...
