microbes that are not causing harm but rather benefitting u
Gastrointestinal microbata is made up of
large bacteriodetes
Firmicutes
Proteobacteria
Function of gastrointestinal microbata
they are unique and train immune system on how to respond
gastrointestinal microbata has a
gut “enterotype”
gastrointestinal iof the stimach
helicobacteri pylori
gastric lumner ph1-2
mucuc layer at wall pH 6-7
which diseases is found in 50 % of world population, causes irritation of the stomach
Helicobacter pylori
gastrointestinal iof the small intestine ph
the further away from the duodemum, the decrease in pH
as small intestine becomes more acid, what happens to microbes
less microbes is found.
what species do you expect to find in small intestine
enterococci and lactobacilli
amount of species in large intestine
10^10- 10^11 bacteria/gram
what kind of species foundin large intetsine
mostly anaerobes like faculatative (E.coli), Archaea-methanogens, yeast-candidia
remember amino acid, organix acis, vitamins product or enzymes
thiamine, riboflavin, pyridocine, B12
