Abstract
The gut microbiota significantly contributes to human health and well-being. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability and resilience of a consortium composed of three next-generation probiotics (NGPs) candidates originally found in the human gut. The growth patterns of Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii were studied both individually and consortium. The growth kinetics of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila), Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. thetaiotaomicron), and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (F. prausnitzii) were characterized both individually and in consortium using isothermal microcalorimetry and 16S ribosomal RNA next-generation sequencing. The consortium reached stability after three passages and demonstrated resilience to changes in its initial composition. The concentration of butyrate produced was nearly twice as high in the consortium compared to the monoculture of F. prausnitzii. The experimental conditions and methodologies used in this article are a solid foundation for developing further complex consortia.
期刊介绍:
MicrobiologyOpen is a peer reviewed, fully open access, broad-scope, and interdisciplinary journal delivering rapid decisions and fast publication of microbial science, a field which is undergoing a profound and exciting evolution in this post-genomic era.
The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish quality research in both fundamental and applied microbiology. Our goal is to publish articles that stimulate discussion and debate, as well as add to our knowledge base and further the understanding of microbial interactions and microbial processes.
MicrobiologyOpen gives prompt and equal consideration to articles reporting theoretical, experimental, applied, and descriptive work in all aspects of bacteriology, virology, mycology and protistology, including, but not limited to:
- agriculture
- antimicrobial resistance
- astrobiology
- biochemistry
- biotechnology
- cell and molecular biology
- clinical microbiology
- computational, systems, and synthetic microbiology
- environmental science
- evolutionary biology, ecology, and systematics
- food science and technology
- genetics and genomics
- geobiology and earth science
- host-microbe interactions
- infectious diseases
- natural products discovery
- pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry
- physiology
- plant pathology
- veterinary microbiology
We will consider submissions across unicellular and cell-cluster organisms: prokaryotes (bacteria, archaea) and eukaryotes (fungi, protists, microalgae, lichens), as well as viruses and prions infecting or interacting with microorganisms, plants and animals, including genetic, biochemical, biophysical, bioinformatic and structural analyses.
The journal features Original Articles (including full Research articles, Method articles, and Short Communications), Commentaries, Reviews, and Editorials. Original papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the article. We also support confirmatory research and aim to work with authors to meet reviewer expectations.
MicrobiologyOpen publishes articles submitted directly to the journal and those referred from other Wiley journals.
