Probiotic consumption influences universal adaptive mutations in indigenous human and mouse gut microbiota

Supplementary tables and figures for paper "Probiotic Consumption Influences Universal Adaptive Mutations in Indigenous Human and Mouse Gut Microbiota" Abstract The adaptive evolution in indigenous intestinal microbes derived from probiotics is critical to safety and efficacy evaluation of probiotics, yet it is still largely underexplored. Here, through 11 publicly accessible datasets, we demonstrated that probiotic consumption can lead to widespread single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the native microbiota. Interestingly, the same probiotic strains introduced far more SNVs in mouse gut than humans. Furthermore, the pattern of probiotics-induced SNVs was highly probiotic-strain specific, and 17 common SNVs in Faecalibacterium prausnitzii genome were identified cross studies, which might lead to changes in bacterial protein structure. Further, nearly 50% of F. prausnitzii SNVs can be inherited for six months in an independent human cohort, whereas the other half only transiently occurred. Collectively, our study substantially extended our understanding of co-evolution of the probiotics and the indigenous gut microbiota, highlighting the importance of assessment of probiotics efficacy and safety in an integrated manner.
