More...Probiotics have attracted much attention because of their health-promoting effects, but little is known about the in vivo evolution of probiotics. This study analyzed the genome adaptation of the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum P-8 strain cultivated in ordinary and glucose restrictive growth media. Then, this study re-analyzed genomes of P-8 isolates recovered from the gut contents of subjects in two feeding trials (in rat and human). The sampling time points were similar to that of the in vitro evolution experiment, which might give parallel comparison of the in vitro and in vivo evolution processes. Based on comprehensive analysis of adapted-isolates recovered from these experiments, our results showed that the energy restriction was not the main driving force for evolution of probiotics. The individual-specific adaptation of probiotics might partially explain the varying extent of health effects seen between different individuals after probiotic consumption.
