Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on isolating new thermophilic members from a class of bacteria, specifically from a deep terrestrial aquifer in Western Siberia, to better understand their ecophysiological versatility, which remains largely uncharted.
  • Two new isolates were identified, capable of both anaerobic and aerobic respiration using various substrates, showing they can grow through fermentation and degrade diverse polymers like starch and chitin.
  • The findings highlight the metabolic flexibility of these bacteria, suggesting their ability to thrive in nutrient-poor environments and their potential widespread presence across different ecosystems as they can utilize complex organic compounds and engage in chemolithotrophy.

Beneficial properties of lactic acid bacteria have been known long ago, but particular interest in probiotics has arisen in the last two decades due to the understanding of the important role of intestinal microflora in human life. Thus, the ability of probiotics to support healthy homeostasis of gut microbiomes has received particular attention. Here, we evaluated the effect of a probiotic consisting of and on the gut microbiome of male rats, assessed their persistence in the fecal biota, and compared probiotic-mediated changes in vitro and in vivo.
