Study shows how bacteria in stomach help in constipation
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers discovered which genes in the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum promote intestinal motility. Researchers observed that B. longum strains with the abfA cluster of genes may reduce constipation by enhancing the gut's utilisation of arabinan, an indigestible fibre.

New method to identify keystone microbial species
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Keystone species, which are thought to exist in low abundance in microbial communities, are thought to have a disproportionate impact on community stability. It can be difficult to identify these keystone species, especially in the human gut, because systematic eradication cannot be utilised

Study finds how bloodstream infections in preemies originate from their gu
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis believe that dangerous bacterial bloodstream infections in preemies may have their roots in the infants' gut microbiomes. These infections are a serious issue because, after 72 hours of life, at least one episode of the pot

Research: What happens to microbiomes when corals hibernate
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
As winter approaches, many species of animals -- from bears and squirrels to parasitic wasps and a few lucky humans -- hunker down for some needed rest. The northern star coral (Astrangia poculata) also enters a hibernating state of dormancy, or quiescence, during this time. But what happens

Sugar substitutes impact gut microbiome
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Weizmann [Israel], August 21 (ANI): Non-nutritive sweeteners have made the claim that they can provide all the sweetness of sugar without any calories since the late 1800s. Researchers who published their findings in the journal Cell on August 19 challenge the long-held belief that these sug

Study: Calorie-free sweeteners affect microbiome and glycemic response
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 20 (ANI): Since the late 1800s non-nutritive sweeteners have promised to deliver all the sweetness of sugar with none of the calories. They have long been believed to have no effect on the human body, but researchers challenge this notion by finding that these sugar s
