Richard, Ph.D., research director at INRAE in the Micalis Institute in Jouy-en-Josas, France.<\/p>\n<p>To date, very little is known about the diversity of foodborne yeasts and their potential effect on gut microbiota and gut health. Yeasts are microscopic fungi\u202fconsisting of solitary cells that reproduce by budding. Some have been used for hundreds of years, like Saccharomyces cerevisiae for wine and bread production, or many others for cheese crust production or ripening, like <em>Debaryomyces hansenii.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The researchers conducted the new study because they are working to further knowledge of the potential effect of the fungal microbiota on human health. In this particular study, the idea was to target specifically the fungi that are used by food companies to produce food products (cheeses, charcuterie). \u201cSince our interest is more focused on the role of fungi in gut health and on the development of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (Crohn\u2019s disease and ulcerative colitis), we monitored the effect of these fungi on adapted in vitro and in <em>vivo<\/em> models,\u201d Richard said.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers first selected yeasts that were intensively used in food production and represented a wide range of different yeasts species and then tested them either in simple interaction tests with cultured human cells or in a specific animal model mimicking ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n<p>They found that in the collection of strains used for food production, some strains can have a beneficial effect on the gut and the host in an inflammatory context. They identified two strains of yeasts, <em>Cyberlindnera<\/em> <em>jadinii<\/em> and <em>Kluyveromyces<\/em> <em>lactis<\/em>, that had potential beneficial effects on inflammatory settings in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis. Several additional experiments were performed in an attempt to decipher the mechanism behind these effects. In the case of C. <em>jadinii,<\/em> the protection seemed to be driven by the modification of the bacterial microbiota after the administration of C. jadinii to the mice, which in turn modified the sensitivity to gut inflammation through a still unknown mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese 2 strains have never been specifically described with such beneficial effect, so even if it needs to be studied further, and particularly to see how they are efficient in humans, it is a promising discovery,\u201d Richard said.<\/p>\n<p>C. j<em>adinii<\/em> and K. <em>lactis<\/em> strains have potential as probiotic yeast strains to fight against inflammation in the gut, but further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms by which these strains act on gut health.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-minimal '><div class='av-share-box'><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this<\/h5><ul class='av-share-box-list noLightbox'><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/fungi-used-in-food-production-could-lead-to-new-probiotics\/&#038;t=Fungi%20used%20in%20food%20production%20could%20%20lead%20to%20new%20%20probiotics' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Fungi%20used%20in%20food%20production%20could%20%20lead%20to%20new%20%20probiotics&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/?p=11617' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f1' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Twitter' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/fungi-used-in-food-production-could-lead-to-new-probiotics\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=Fungi%20used%20in%20food%20production%20could%20%20lead%20to%20new%20%20probiotics&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/fungi-used-in-food-production-could-lead-to-new-probiotics\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=Fungi%20used%20in%20food%20production%20could%20%20lead%20to%20new%20%20probiotics&#038;body=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/fungi-used-in-food-production-could-lead-to-new-probiotics\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px;
