What are the advantages of having normal flora in the gut?
Mainly subdivided into two types of advantages1-Advantages of bacterial metabolic activities2-Protective activities1-Metabolic activitiesRole in entero-hepatic circulation-Disconjugation of several substances via bacterial enzymes, which were conjugated in the liver.Eg- Glucuronic acid,Sulfate,Taurine,Glycine or Glutathione.Those bacterial enzymes responsible are,B -glucuronidase,sulfatase & glyacidases.This disconjugation process fascilitates the absorbance of those parent compounds.The flora play a role in digestion of fibres.Also responsible for the synthesis of certain vitamins.Eg- Vitamin K,Biotin, Vitamin B12, Folic acidSome microbes in flora are also capable of fermenting indigestable carbohydrates( dietary fibres/cellulose)2-Protective activitiesPrevents the invasion of foreign microbes by competing with them or by producing several antimicrobal substances.Eg-Bacteriosins or short chain fatty acids
