Bacillus is one of the most common genus of bacteria in the human gut.

 

It is known for their rod-shaped (bacillus) morphology. They are commonly found in various environments, including soil, water, and the gastrointestinal tract of animals. Some species of Bacillus are beneficial, used in industrial processes like fermentation and in agriculture as probiotics, while others can be pathogenic, causing diseases in plants and animals.

 

“Gut Bacillus” typically refers to the species of Bacillus bacteria that play important roles in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune system regulation. Some strains of gut Bacillus are considered probiotics and can confer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts, such as promoting gut health and preventing gastrointestinal disorders.

Healthy Bacillus species can be found in various fermented foods. Some common sources include Yogurt, Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Miso, and Tempeh.

 

Consuming these fermented foods can help introduce beneficial Bacillus bacteria into the gut, promoting digestive health and overall well-being.
