2、line: 29June2005AbstractAn intestinal population of beneficial commensal microorganisms helps maintain human health, and some of these bacteria have been found to significantly reduce the risk of gut-associated disease and to alleviate disease symptoms. The genomic characterization of probiotic bact
3、eria and other commensal intestinal bacteria that is now under way will help to deepen our understanding of their beneficial effects.While the sequencing of the human genome 1, 2 has increased our understanding of the role of genetic factors in health and disease, each human being harbors many more
4、genes than those in their own genome. These belong to our commensal and symbiotic intestinal microorganisms - our intestinal microbiome - which play an important role in maintaining human health and well-being. A more appropriate image of ourselves would be drawn if the genomes of our intestinal mic
5、robiota were taken into account. The microbiome may contain more than 100 times the number of genes in the human genome 3 and provides many functions that humans have thus not needed to develop themselves. The indigenous intestinal microbiota provides a barrier against pathogenic bacteria and other
6、harmful food components 46. It has also been shown to have a direct impact on the morphology of the gut 7, and many intestinal diseases can be linked to disturbances in the intestinal microbial population 8.The indigenous microbiota of an infants gastrointestinal tract is originally created through
7、contact with the diverse microbiota of the parents and the immediate environment. During breast feeding, initial microbial colonization is enhanced by galacto-oligosaccharides in breast milk and contact with the skin microbiota of the mother. This early colonization process directs the microbial suc
8、cession until weaning and forms the basis for a healthy microbiota. The viable microbes in the adult intestine outnumber the cells in the human body tenfold, and the composition of this microbial population throughout life is unique to each human being. During adulthood and aging the composition and
9、 diversity of the microbiota can vary as a result of disease and the genetic background of the individual.Current research into the intestinal microbiome is focused on obtaining genomic data from important intestinal commensals and from probiotics, microorganisms that appear to actively promote heal
10、th. This genomic information indicates that gut commensals not only derive food and other growth factors from the intestinal contents but also influence their human hosts by providing maturational signals for the developing infant and child, as well as providing signals that can lead to an alteratio
11、n in the barrier mechanisms of the gut. It has been reported that colonization by particular bacteria has a major role in rapidly providing humans with energy from their food 9. For example, the intestinal commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron has been shown to have a major role in this process, an
12、d whole-genome transcriptional profiling of the bacterium has shown that specific diets can be associated with selective upregulation of bacterial genes that facilitate delivery of products of carbohydrate breakdown to the hosts energy metabolism 10, 11. Key microbial groups in the intestinal microb
13、iota are highly flexible in adapting to changes in diet, and thus detailed prediction of their actions and effects may be difficult. Although genomic studies have revealed important details about the impact of the intestinal microbiota on specific processes 3, 1114, the effects of species compositio
14、n and microbial diversity and their potential compensatory functions are still not understood.Probiotics and healthA probiotic has been defined by a working group of the International Life Sciences Institute Europe (ILSI Europe) as a viable microbial food supplement which beneficially influences the
15、 health of the host 15. Probiotics are usually members of the healthy gut microbiota and their addition can assist in returning a disturbed microbiota to its normal beneficial composition. The ILSI definition implies that safety and efficacy must be scientifically demonstrated for each new probiotic
16、 strain and product. Criteria for selecting probiotics that are specific for a desired target have been developed, but general criteria that must be satisfied include the ability to adhere to intestinal mucosa and tolerance of acid and bile. Such criteria have proved useful but cumbersome in current
17、 selection processes, as there are several adherence mechanisms and they influence gene upregulation differently in the host. Therefore, two different adhesion studies need to be conducted on each strain and their predictive value for specific functions is not always good or optimal. Demonstration o
18、f the effects of probiotics on health includes research on mechanisms and clinical intervention studies with human subjects belonging to target groups.The revelation of the human genome sequence has increased our understanding of the genetic deviations that lead to or predispose to gastrointestinal
19、disease as well as to diseases associated with the gut, such as food allergies. In 1995, the first genome of a free-living organism, the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, was sequenced 16. Since then, over 200 bacterial genome sequences, mainly of pathogenic microorganisms, have been completed. The
20、first genome of a mammalian lactic-acid bacterium, that of Lactococcus lactis, a microorganism of great industrial interest, was completed in 2001 17. More recently, the genomes of numerous other lactic-acid bacteria 18, bifidobacteria 12 and other intestinal microorganisms 13, 19, 20 have been sequ
21、enced, and others are under way 21. Table 1 lists the probiotic bacteria that have been sequenced. These great breakthroughs have demonstrated that evolution has adapted both microbes and humans to their current state of cohabitation, or even symbiosis, which is beneficial to both parties and facili
22、tates a healthy and relatively stable but adaptable gut environment.

Only a few members of the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, two genera that provide many probiotics, have been co

The key issue for the microbiota, for probiotics, and for their human hosts is the flexibility of the microorganisms in coping with a changeable local environment and microenvironments.This flexibility is emphasized in the completed genomes of intestinal and probiotic microorgani
