Scientists at the Micalis Institute have shown that two yeast strains used in food production can act as probiotics to treat inflammatory bowel disease. The research was published in the journal mSystems.
Yeasts are microscopic fungi consisting of single cells. They are used in the production of wine, bread, cheese and sausages. In a new study, scientists identified two species of yeast (Siberlindnera jadinii And Kluyveromyces LactisIt is a plant widely used in food production and can provide relief to ulcerative colitis patients.
It was tested on mice that had a condition similar to ulcerative colitis in humans. When Siberlindnera jadinii The reduction in inflammation was likely due to changes in gut microbes. This happened through a still unknown mechanism. Additionally, this yeast was not previously known to have anti-inflammatory effects. This type of yeast is used to add meat flavor to foods and is also used in cheese production.
strains C. jadinii And K. lactis Scientists say probiotics that fight inflammation in the intestines could potentially be used. However, more research is needed to understand the mechanisms of their effects on human intestinal health.
