Probiotic Screening

Probiotics, comprising non-pathogenic bacteria and yeasts, offer diverse health benefits, but their effects are strain-specific even within the same species. As an excellent model organism, C. elegans provides a unique platform to investigate host- probiotics interactions, and the mechanism underlying probiotic benefits. SunyBiotech provides high-quality and cost-effective probiotic screening services using this model.

C. elegans is an excellent model organism for probiotic screening due to its:

•Natural Interaction with Microorganisms

Wild nematodes feed on bacteria and fungi, making it naturally suited for examining microorganisms as food, pathogens, parasites, or even competitors

•Key similarities to the human gut

C. elegans shares hey physiological traits with mammals, including an intestine composed of 20 non-renewable epithelial cells with polarized epithelial cells with microvilli, enabling relevant gut-related studies

•Excellent model organism

Its short reproductive cycle, transparent gut, ease of manipulation allow for the reation of defined gut microbiota and testing of ingested bacteria effects on host physiology.
