The disclosure relates to a mixture of bacteria belonging to at least six or seven different and specific bacterial species preferably for use in preventing or treating gastro-intestinal disorders. Preferably, the mixture of bacteria is grown together in a fermenter prior to administering the mixture to a subject in order to prevent or treat the disorder.

Use of microbial communities for human and animal health

Gastrointestinal tract simulation system and compartment therefor. The compartment comprising a vessel having an open top surrounded by a peripheral edge portion and an air-tight lid system configured to be placed onto the peripheral edge portion. The lid system comprises a body with a plurality of passageways extending through the body and providing access to the interior of the vessel, the plurality of passageways comprising passageways for fluid transfer tubes and passageways for mounting at least one sensor component. The lid system is provided with releasable sealing elements for sealing the plurality of passageways and at least one pressing element which is common to at least a number of the sealing elements and configured for applying pressure to each of the respective sealing elements to effect the sealing of the respective passageways.

Gastrointestinal tract simulation system, compartments therefor, and method

The present invention relates to the use of carotenoids, in particular a microbial carotenoid compound of formula I, such as methyl-glycosyl-apo-8'-lycopenoate or glycosyl-apo-8&#x2032;-lycopene, for restoring and/or maintaining a health-beneficial gut microbial composition in a subject. The invention further provides the use of said compound in the treatment of disorders associated with a disturbed intestinal barrier integrity, such as for example irritable bowel syndrome. Further, a compound or composition comprising a microbial carotenoid compound is disclosed for use in the prevention and/or treatment of disorders associated with disturbed intestinal barrier integrity.

Microbial carotenoids affecting gut microbial composition

The present disclosure relates to a mixture of bacteria belonging to at least six or seven different and specific bacterial species preferably for use in preventing or treating gastro-intestinal disorders. Preferably, the mixture of bacteria are grown together in a fermenter prior to administering the mixture to a subject in order to prevent or treat the disorder.

A method is provided for co-culturing viable cells and microorganisms for at least 48 hours in which an adhesion module is provided including a basal compartment and a luminal compartment separated by a semi-permeable membrane, and a continuous or semi-continuous flow of fresh medium is applied to the basal compartment.
