“…Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes are the two major abundant phyla in the gut of humans and many animals. In this study, the increased ratio of F/B, suggested that the progression of CP resulted in the disproportions of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in the gut [48]. The enrichment of Firmicutes in the intestinal microbita might be correlated with a positive energy balance resulted from GLPS 3 administration [49].…”

“…A controversial hypothesis is the induced enteritis due to saponins and/or to the gut microbiota; as it is well known that gut bacteria promote intestinal inflammation (e.g., Ding et al., ; Peek & Blaser, ; Yan, Yang, & Ji, ). However, to the author's knowledge, no information is available on the effect of soy saponins on gut microbiota in salmonids, in contrast to that reported for other sources of saponins on gut microbiota of endothermic animals (Chen, Tai, & Hsiao, ; Gong, Xiao, Wang, & Yang, ; Juan, Zhang, Wang, An, & Wang, ; Wan et al., ; Zhang, Xie, Zhang, & Zhang, ). However, it is revealed that SBMIE lead to modulation of the Atlantic salmon gut microbiota (Reveco et al., ) and bacterial DNA in rainbow trout plasma (Mosberian‐Tanha et al., ), as well as oxazole‐induced enteritis in zebrafish modulate the gut microbiota (Brugman et al., ).…”

Soybean meal (SBM) is one of the most commonly used vegetable ingredient to replace fish meal in fish diets. However, SBM is limiting in some essential amino acids and contains numerous antinutritional factors and antigens that can affect intestinal microbiota and innate immune system in several finfish species and crustaceans and compromise health. The impact of SBM on health and gut microbiota of aquatic animals is not only affected by SBM in general, but also on the degree of treatment of the meal and exposure. Recently, many studies are actively seeking ways to complement or balance those adverse responses induced by high inclusion of SBM in aquaculture diets. These include advanced processing and mixture of feed with other feed components to balance antinutritional factors. The impact of dietary soybean oil on gut microbiota has also been investigated but to a lesser extent than SBM. As the gastrointestinal tract has been suggested as one of the major routes of infection in finfish species and crustaceans, the effect of soybean products on the gut microbiota is important to investigate. Several studies have focus on supplementation of SBM on the adverse responses of the innate immune system as immunological mechanisms are likely involved in the underlying pathology. However, the precise cause of the inflammatory process has not yet been clarified, even though some investigations have suggested that alcohol‐soluble antinutritional factors, especially soy saponins, are potential causative factors. Possible interactions between soybean products and innate immune system in several finfish species and crustaceans are discussed.

“…Microbial modulation has been reported in animal or human studies, or both, by; epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG, main catechin of green tea) [128–131], ellagic acid and ellagitannis (pomegranate, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and chestnuts) [132, 133], ginseng saponins (ginsenodises) [134, 135], and resveratrol (red wine) [136, 137]. In vitro evidence has shown that naringenin (a flavone) can inhibit growth and adhesion of Gram-negative pathogen Salmonella typhimurium , yet enhance proliferation of the anti-inflammatory probiotic strain L. rhamnosus [138, 139].…”

SUMMARY The human gastrointestinal tract is resident to a vastly diverse microbial consortium that co-exists through strict rules of invasion, dominance, resilience and succession. While some members possess stronger capabilities for survival than others, each one retains a genome characteristic of their bacterial denomination which subsequently determines survival and ultimately the composition of a human gut microbiome. Collective evidence advocates the concept of gut microbiota modulation via dietary compounds, with or without nutraceutical supplementation. However, consistent reports of strong individuality in responsiveness suggest that initial composition of host microbiota mediates the effect of nutrition modulation. There is also a strong potential for the interaction between mind and microbe to influence responsiveness, although mechanistic understanding of these complex exchanges remains in its infancy at best. Synthetic stool for FMT is a next-generation microbiome-therapy shown effective in treating C.difficile [417] which could provide a feasible alternative to current methods for patients with IBD. Nevertheless, studies investigating optimum timing for FMT administration are essential. Animal and human studies are only starting to highlight the Pandora of interactions that endure between members of gut microbiome, their associated metabolites, dietary compounds, as well as host neurological and immune systems, all of which characteristic to each individual. Advanced research technologies have excelled the scientific evidence in support of CAM and toward generating NG-CAM systems designed for treatment of specific disease states, such as IBD. While the majority of envisioned NG-CAM strategies presently exist in their experimental and discovery phases, many show promise for future clinical application.
