영문 초록

Human feces, as a repository of the gut microbiome composed of tens of trillions of microbes, represent the microbial environment within the gut. The composition of the gut microbiota is associated with various diseases, body conditions, and lifestyles, and human-derived strains isolated from feces can be developed into probiotics or live biotherapeutic products (LBPs). YS Flora® is a collection of human fecal samples from over 300 diverse donors intended for scientific research and healthcare purposes, such as studying gut microbiome communities and developing supplements and pharmaceuticals. YS Flora® uniquely includes fecal samples from non-healthy individuals, unlike other fecal biobanks, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the human gut microbiome. To demonstrate YS Flora®'s utility for scientific research, we analyzed and compared the fecal bacterial communities of vegetarians and omnivores. Strains with potential for use as probiotics or LBPs, such as Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Bacillus spp., were isolated using selective media. YS Flora® provides a research foundation by offering isolated strains and gut microbiota from individuals with specific health conditions and lifestyles, enhancing the scientific understanding of the human gut microbiome and aiding researchers in developing probiotics or LBPs.
