L’établissement d’un microbiote sain, caractérisé par une grande diversité d’espèces de bactéries, requiert typiquement un régime riche en fibres végétales et pauvre en graisses et protéines animales. Les glucides complexes (polysaccharides) non digestibles sont métabolisés par le microbiote du gros intestin et fermentés pour produire une vaste gamme de composés et favoriser la formation d’une épaisse couche de mucus protecteur. La production microbienne d’acides gras à chaîne courte (SCFA) fournit une source d’énergie supplémentaire aux cellules intestinales (colonocytes) et provoque une diminution du pH qui favorise la croissance d’espèces bénéfiques. 1, record 1, French, - microbiote%20du%20gros%20intestin

S. boulardii pourrait "maintenir et restaurer la flore intestinale du gros intestin ainsi que celle de l'intestin grêle" affirmation qui mériterait d'être éclaircie car cette levure n'appartient pas à la flore normale humaine.

Both the leaf and root microbiota contain bacteria that provide indirect pathogen protection, but root microbiota members appear to serve additional host functions through the acquisition of nutrients from soil for plant growth. Thus, the plant microbiota emerges as a fundamental trait that includes mutualism enabled through diverse biochemical mechanisms, as revealed by studies on plant growth–promoting and plant health–promoting bacteria. 2, record 2, English, - root%20microbiota
