Hence, the composition of the microbiota of a newborn is an emerging stage and is modified by various internal and external factors that influence its development during all stages of life. The microbiota of an infant is totally different from that of a child, a young person, an adult, or an elderly person. In addition to this physiological fact, the microbial composition of an individual is influenced by other factors that can alter the balance of the gut microbiota. The factors which cause the alteration of the microbiota composition are known as microbial disruptors. The milieu of the gut, “dysbiosis” means the condition in which the imbalance or maladaptation microbial ecosystem, causing the predominance of certain bact

Dominating the biosphere in terms of the metabolic impact is the microbial culture population. Bacteria, yeast, and funguses have been used by humankind for various purposes since ages. The modern form of it is attributed to the microbial culture .  Microbial culture refers to the process of letting the microbial organisms reproduce in predetermined culture mediums under controlled lab circumstances. Bioflex Microbial cultures or probiotic strains have living organisms that confer beneficial effects on the equilibrium and functioning of the gastrointestinal tracts. They also have a therapeutic role in elevating immunity, improving lactose tolerance, lowering cholesterol levels, and preventing certain forms of cancer. However, the ingestion viability is to be considered as they need to survive for performing their functions.  Moreover, the microbial culture market is expected to reach a point of 6.78 billion USD by the end of 2021. This attributes to the terrif

The word Probiotic is derived from Latin, which means “for life.” Long ago, when people were not aware of the existence of probiotics, even then, the good bacteria were consumed as a part of fermented foods such as bread, kefir, kumis, cheese, beer, and wine. Probiotics refer to the live bacteria that are beneficial for health. They are also termed as “good bacteria” because they reduce the harmful bacteria in the gut and keep the digestive tract healthy. A healthy gut, in turn, helps in maintaining proper body functions. The probiotics can be consumed through fermented foods or health supplements. The critical health benefits associated with probiotics consumption are: Probiotics are well known for their ability to cure diarrhea . Diarrhea generally occurs as a side effect of antibiotic consumption. The probiotic bacteria , such as  Lactobacillus rhamnosus ,  Lactobacillus casei , and  Saccharomyces boulardii ,  are known to be effective in curing diarrhea. In the cas
