Functional assessment of interactions between the human gut microbiota and the host.

Objective

The aim is to identify the effects of dietary modulation of the human gastrointestinal to. The influence of live microbial feed supplements (robotics), dietary carbohydrates known to have a selective metabolism (robotics), and a combination of these two approaches (symbiotic) will be ascertained . The main objectives are to clarify effects on the normal gut to, and on host gastrointestinal function, as well as determine mechanisms involved in pro, pre and symbiotic functionality. These objectives will be achieved through exploitation of model systems and 'state of the art' technology . It is anticipated that a successful project will have much relevance for consumers, clinicians, nutritionists and microbiologists. In addition, the identification of host-microbe interactions will facilitate impetus into functional foods in the EU.
