While most probiotics are bacteria, there is also some interest in using fungi as probiotics. In particular, certain species of fungi such as Saccharomyces boulardii and various strains of Aspergillus have been studied for their potential to improve gut health and protect against pathogenic bacteria and toxins.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast species that has been extensively studied as a probiotic. It has been shown to improve symptoms of diarrhoea and other digestive disorders, and may also have beneficial effects on immune function and inflammation.
Aspergillus oryzae is another species of fungi that has been studied as a potential probiotic. It is used in the production of various enzymes and other compounds, and has been shown to have beneficial effects on the gut microbiota and immune system in animal studies.
Some of the most well-known and extensively studied Fungal strains include Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopilae, Tricoderma harzianum, Tricoderma viride. These strains have been shown to have various health benefits and are commonly used in probiotic products.
Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae are both species of fungi that are commonly used in industrial fermentation processes to produce enzymes A. niger is known for its ability to produce citric acid, while A. oryzae is used to produce enzymes such as amylase and protease for various industrial applications.
Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae are both entomopathogenic fungi, meaning they are parasitic to insects and can be used as biological control agents in agriculture to reduce pest populations. B. bassiana is particularly effective against certain types of beetles and flies, while M. anisopliae is commonly used to control grasshoppers and locusts.
Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma viride are both species of fungi that are used in agriculture as biological control agents against plant pathogens. They are particularly effective against fungal pathogens such as Fusarium, which can cause disease in crops such as tomatoes and bananas.
