Acetic ester groups 13> and in one case L-lysyl residues 14) were found in TAs from Streptomyces walls as substituents instead of D-alanyl, whereas TA from Bifidobacterium bifidum 15> contains mannitol as the polyol constituent. 

Probiotics are defined as microbial preparations of living microorganisms having a positive effect on the intestinal flora after oral administration (R. Fuller, 1989). Bacterial cultures such as those derived from Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactococcus lactis. Enterococcus faedum (see below). Bifidobacterium bifidum (see below), LactobadUus casd and Lactobacillus thermophilicum have proved reliable.

Probiotics may consist of a single strain or a mixture of several strains. Most common are lactic acid bacteria from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera. Species of bacteria and yeasts used as probiotics include Bifidobacterium bifidum, B. breve, Lactobacillus casei, L. acidophilus, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Bacillus coagulan, among others (Champagne et al., 2005).

A recent study has highlighted that the induction of Regulatory T cells (Treg) was promoted by gut commensal bacteria this subpopulation of T cells is responsible for maintaining the Thl /Th2 balance. In this context, it has been shown that Bifidobacterium bifidum-derived membrane vesicles induce dendritic cell-mediated T g differentiation. ...
