IISER Bhopal research to help develop new probiotics and prebiotics
India Today
Researchers at IISER Bhopal have undertaken an important research that will help in the development of new probiotics and prebiotics.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal have displayed the differences in the type of gut bacteria between Indian and Western populations due to the differences in the diet patterns in these two regions -- the Indian diet being richer in carbohydrates and fibre than the Western.
In the largest study of its kind from India, the research team studied the bacterial profile of 200 gut samples taken from people from several Indian locations.
