Beneficial Microbes Are 'Selected and Nurtured' in the Human Gut

 Beneficial Microbes Are 'Selected and Nurtured' in the Human Gut

 

Led by the University of Oxford and a new open access Journal PLOS Biology on November 20 published a study in man and animals, including gut microbes actively select the best partner and nutritious secretion that their candidates .

Oxford team, gut microbes and animal gut lining (epithelial cell layer of the host) an evolutionary computing model, made of a conversation between. Model shows that the slow-growing beneficial microbes are rapidly lost, and the specific nutrients, beneficial microbes that are harmful discharge host support, need help from .



The cells of our body are microbes that we are outnumbered by many, and especially, our gut, "Professor Kevin Zoology Department of Oxford University, an author of the new paper, said Foster . "We know that many gut microbes are very beneficial for us, protecting us from pathogens and help with digestion, but how to develop good bilateral relations, and how it is maintained, a mystery Some have been. "

Since the host epithelial cell layer is issued by, and shows. easy to control microbes before we thought it was. "

John Schulter, Oxford University Department of Zoology and the paper's first author also said: "in our gut but in a war zone like all kinds of microbes on the battle field to fight for survival is withThat means only survive but expand, pushing out any other strains. "

In the case of secretion of specific compounds formed by a very small amount of relatively small changes) to create a large-scale effect will be amplified.
