The taxonomic composition and spatial localization of yeast and bacteria in kefir grains (KG) obtained for study from different regions of the planet were investigated. The diversity of their microbiome has been demonstrated by high-throughput sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes and the ITS1 region of the 18S-ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-28S complex of yeast rRNA. It has been established that the main representatives of the complex community of KG from different regions are lactic acid bacteria (LAB; lactobacilli, lactococci, and spp. in different ratios) and different types of yeast of the genus (family ). Acetic acid bacteria and a small percentage of yeast were detected in the KG from Tibet, and yeast was detected in the KG from Ossetia.

The contamination of food and animal feeds with mycotoxions, particularly aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), poses significant risks to human health and causes economic losses. This study investigated bacteria from various fermented milk products to assess their ability to detoxify AFB1. A variety of household fermented kefir milk, kefir-like beverages, and kefir grains were collected from rural areas and subjected to microbiological analysis.

Acute ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colon that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Yet, a growing body of evidence supports the efficacy of dietary interventions in preventing acute ulcerative colitis. Fermented beverages have been the focus of research in humans and animals for several years due to their potential to influence overall health functions with an emphasis on gut health.

Global concern about pathogenic resistance to antibiotics is prompting interest in probiotics as a strategy to prevent or inhibit infections. Fermented beverages are promising sources of probiotic yeasts. This study aimed to evaluate the antagonistic effects of , , and strains from kefir and wine against serovar Enteritidis in intestinal epithelial cells.

Article Synopsis
- Hyperlipidemia is linked to poor diet and inactivity, but prebiotics and probiotics, like those found in mushrooms and kefir milk, could help address its effects.
- A study tested dried powdered mushrooms (DPM) and kefir milk (KM) on hyperlipidemic rats, showing significant improvements in health markers such as body weight, blood glucose, and lipid profiles when DPM and KM were included in their diet.
- The findings suggest that the combination of DPM and KM could serve as functional foods to reduce hyperlipidemia and enhance gut health, but further research on humans is necessary.

LZ-R-5 (R-5), a strain with high epithelial adhesion and bioactive exopolysaccharide production, was isolated from Tibetan kefir grains. This study investigated its potential to alleviate intestinal inflammation using a DSS-induced colitis model in BALB/c mice. We integrated microbial diversity and serological analyses to assess changes in gut flora and cytokines following the R-5 treatment.
