| Popis: |
Microbiota has an effective health promoting role which is ingested through fermented functional foods, specifically probiotic microorganisms. They are now being administered orally which in turn serves the purpose of potent alternative medication for intestinal disorders by replacing antibiotics. Most frequently used probiotics are Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. For much other therapeutic usage new probiotic strains are being modified to understand their mechanism of action and to strengthen them further through bioengineering. Metabolic engineering shows pathway for modulation of the organism’s metabolism so that the maximum amount of desired metabolites can be extracted through genetic manipulations. This chapter concentrates mainly on modifying the genes of probiotic bacteria and their importance in health and wellness. |
