About the intestinal flora

The intestinal flora, also called microbiome , is an extremely important ecosystem in our body. Did you know that our intestinal system is very personal and is just as unique as our fingerprint? Essential substances are produced, such as vitamins and neurotransmitters. The microbiome also plays a key role in the digestion of food and in the subsequent absorption of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients . For these processes the body works together with the intestinal bacteria present. The body acts as a host for these microbes, as it were. The intestinal bacteria can be divided into different bacteria and fungi, desired and less desirable species and passing species or permanent residents . As with all life, it is all about balance here.

How do bacteria work together?

Knowledge about our intestinal flora is constantly developing. We actually know very little about this complex system and our current knowledge is just the tip of the iceberg, but almost all experts agree that it is worthwhile to take a closer look at our gut flora. For example, did you know that bacteria communicate with each other in a special way? Throughout the body, including in the intestines, bacteria are constantly in conversation with each other via a mechanism that we call 'Quorum Sensing ' and they attune their behavior to each other via substances that they secrete, namely signal molecules. Among other things, they can know whether there are many conspecifics in their neighborhood or not and collaborate with them in an ingenious way. Because of their special communication system, bacteria know how to sense whether they are alone or with others and this enables them to work together in ways that we are only now slowly starting to understand.
