ABSTRACT

Probiotics has microbial benefits to the consumers based on food supplements. Microbial selection and consideration has to be done based on clinical evidence to support health attributes to the selected strains present in the living species, based on functional, safety and beneficial technological characters. Genomics and proteomics approaches can be consider on microbial species, which are beneficial to the host in prevention of diseases. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a closer species with Lactobacillus johnsonii, Lactobacillus rhamnosus is closer to Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium longum is divergent with lactobacillus species, had been predicted based on phylogenetic analysis. Intercommunications may be present between the probiotic species in regulation of products such as Lacose. Systems approach in these species can provide scientists a better approach in switching on or switching off the regulation of genes within a living organism.
