abstract = "There has been an epidemic of various non-communicable
degenerative and autoimmune diseases,
strongly associated with the modern
lifestyle. Among them, neurodegenerative and
psychiatric disorders represent a huge burden on
society. Recently, all these diseases have been associated
with the gut microbiota dysbiosis. Gut
microbiota-host interaction research has been
greatly improved due to development of molecular
high-throughput techniques based on
various ‘omics’ techniques coupled with bioinformatics
and data science developments. However,
the mechanisms of the host–microbiota crosstalk
are still poorly understood. The NextGenBiotics
project proposes an innovative integrative
multi-omics research strategy for deciphering
the mechanism behind the cross-talk among
microbiota and gut-brain-axis. The 118 novel
NGPs candidates belonging to Dorea sp., Blautia
sp., Bacteroides sp., Roseburia sp., Sellimonas
sp., Faecalicatena sp., Phascolarctobacterium faecium,
and Faecalimonas sp. were cultivated. The
25 NGPs with confirmed safe status and potential
probiotic potential were screened in C. elegans
model for their effects on behavioural and neuronal
activity. The most prominent candidates
with ability to upregulate expression of genes
involved in neurotransmiting are further tested
in EAE (an animal model for MS) and CUMS depression
model. The specific microbiota-derived
metabolites have been identified as potential
neuro- and psycho-biotics. The NextGenBiotics is
highly ambitious project, dedicated to pioneering
work in the field of multi-omics studies related
to the cultivation of novel anaerobic NGPs
and the studying of their effect on MGBA. This
concept enabled studying bidirectional communication
between gut microbiota and brain
on the functional level that will significantly
contribute to the growing body data related to
MGBA. The results obtained during NextGenBiotics
determined the genes/metabolites and the
associated mechanisms involved in health-promoting
effects of NGPs in MGBA beyond stateof-
the-art, broadening the scientific knowledge
and opening up the possible novel therapeutic
approaches in prevention and therapy of neurodegenerative
and psychiatric diseases.",
