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

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.
