Area of Science:

  • Microbiome research
  • Metabolic engineering
  • Nutraceutical development

Background:

  • The gut microbiota significantly influences human health and individual responses to ingested compounds.
  • Current prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics show variable clinical outcomes, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies.
  • Microbial metabolites are key mediators in the host-microbe relationship, driving health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of gut microbiota metabolism in host health and compound responses.
  • To propose an expanded concept of synbiotics focused on guided microbial metabolism.
  • To present a workflow for developing novel synbiotics targeting specific metabolite production.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on gut microbiota metabolism and synbiotics.
  • Conceptual expansion of synbiotics to include metabolic action.
  • Proposal of a workflow involving metabolite selection, strain identification, bioinformatic tools, gut models, and human trials.

Main Results:

  • Gut microbiota's metabolic potential dictates responses to dietary and xenobiotic compounds.
  • Microbial metabolites serve as crucial, targetable mediators in host-microbe interactions.
  • Synbiotic compositions can be designed to guide microbial metabolism for beneficial molecule synthesis.

Conclusions:

  • Rationally designing synbiotics based on specific substrate-microbe interactions is a promising strategy.
  • This approach can lead to novel synbiotics that function as hybrid nutra-/pharmaceuticals.
  • Targeting microbial metabolism offers a new avenue for microbiome-targeted therapeutics.
