Biology of Eukaryotic Probiotics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Probiotics

Part of the book series: Microbiology Monographs ((MICROMONO,volume 21))

Abstract

Probiotics are viable microorganisms which upon ingestion confer health benefits to the host. Any microorganism irrespective of its origin, capable of surviving in the digestive tract of host and exerting such effects can be a candidate. Most of the currently used probiotics belong to prokaryotic origin. Unlike prokaryotes, several eukaryotic microorganisms can also be very useful to animal’s health. Since a long time, eukaryotes are used as single cell protein and/or as components of food starters for human and animal consumption throughout the world. Apart from these uses, certain eukaryotic microorganisms are also used as probiotics since they can withstand the harsh milieu of gut and execute beneficial effects in host. While bacterial probiotics are common, only limited eukaryotic probiotics belonging to fungi/moulds/yeasts are used in human and animal practices. Nowadays interest in eukaryotic probiotics is on the rise and in most of the cases, their efficacy and usefulness has been confirmed by firm scientific evidences. Among the eukaryotic probiotics, yeasts especially Saccharomyces species are dominant and routinely used in a broad range of hosts. This chapter deals with the occurrence, distribution, taxonomic characterization, and detail modes of action of eukaryotic probiotics with special reference to yeasts in human and other animals.
