What The Microorganisms In Our Gut Can Do To The Biochemistry In The Body

Our intestines are long, and they contain a big load of live bacterial microorganisms — approximately <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3667473/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">100 trillion</a> of them at any one time. These microbes comprise a diverse array of strains and species. Collectively, we know it as our gut microbiota, microbiome or microflora. We have both our small and large intestines. As their environments are markedly different, different strains and species will tend to dominate the populations in those different regions. For example, Lactobacillus species are predominantly found in the <a href="https://www.protexin.com/attachments/Probiotic%20News%20Issue%204.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">small intestine</a>, while Bifidobacterium species tend to prefer being in the <a href="https://www.protexin.com/attachments/Probiotic%20News%20Issue%203.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">large intestine</a>. Also, different strains and species will possess <a href="https://microbialcellfactories.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2859-13-S1-S7" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">different adherence capabilities</a> to the mucus linings of our intestines. <a href="https://medium.com/beingwell/what-the-microorganisms-in-our-gut-can-do-to-the-biochemistry-in-the-body-3717cd51386f">Click Here</a>
