“…A synbiotic is a combination of probiotic and prebiotic components where the presence of prebiotics enhances the activity of the probiotic microbial strain (Kumari et al, 2020). Prebiotics such as FOS, GOS, XOS, inulin, fructans are the most commonly used fibers which, when used together with probiotics, are referred to as synbiotics and can improve the viability of probiotics (Pandey et al, 2015).…”

There is growing evidence that a disturbed microbiota, a complex ecosystem, is associated with the development of numerous diseases, including arterial hypertension. This complex cardiovascular disease is the result of not sufficiently clear role that genetic and environmental factors play in it. Not only does the treatment of hypertension include a drug therapy, but also it includes a variety of non-pharmacological measures based on dietary intervention. Probiotics and prebiotics are besides the nutrition the most commonly used substances that are aimed at maintaining a healthy microbiome or restoring the balance in case of disturbed bacterial homeostasis in disease. Although many studies have confirmed the effects of an imbalance in the gut microbiota (dysbiosis) in the last decade, the benefits of dietary intervention with probiotics in people with hypertension need to be supported by stronger evidence and further clinical trials in order to be ultimately confirmed.

“…The intestinal microbiota consists of various types of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and viruses. While microorganisms belonging to 6 bacterial classes, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria and Verrucomicrobia, colonize in the intestinal microbiota of healthy people, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes constitute approximately 90% of the intestinal microbiota (Kumari et al 2020). Many studies show that age-related changes in intestinal microbiota composition include decreased species diversity, increased interindividual variation, higher levels of Proteobacteria, and lower levels of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium.…”

While aging with physiological dimensions refers to the changes seen with chronological age, on the other hand, aging with psychological dimensions refers to the change of humans’ capacity to adaptively. Such as learning, psychomotor, problem-solving and personality traits. With the improvement of life quality in recent years, the average life expectancy and therefore the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases among the elderly have also increased. Although the aging process is universal, progressive, gradual and unstoppable, human gut microbiota-targeted aging management is a new approach to health and anti-aging. Nutrition plays a big factor in the elderly population with providing adequate cognitive and physical functions and when taking the right nutrition it also reduces the risk of chronic diseases. When adding functional foods into the diet, it can play a significant role to reduce the risk of diet-related diseases. Such as probiotics and prebiotics. In recent years, a new subclass of probiotics called ‘psychobiotics’ has emerged. These psychobiotics are defined as probiotics that, when taken in appropriate amounts, it creates positive psychiatric effects in human psychopathology. Examination of this new class of probiotics provides a glimmer of hope for the effective management of neurodegenerative diseases and various psychiatric disorders, especially with increasing life expectancy. Also, recommending the use of probiotics in old age will contribute to the treatment of some health problems related to aging.

“…Entomopathogenic microbiomes are generally more eco-friendly, more suitable, specific, and less expensive. The effect of ENMs has been tested on non-target organisms, and human health demonstrated satisfactory results (Yadav et al, 2018 ; Kumari et al, 2020 ). Their use is justified, and they can survive in the natural ecosystem.…”

Entomopathogen-based biopesticides: insights into unraveling their potential in insect pest management

Global food security is a critical challenge to fulfill the demands of an exponentially growing population. To date, growers rely on chemicals; the broad-spectrum application of synthetic molecules leads to environmental contamination, resistance development, residual toxicity, pest resurgence, and a detrimental effect on human health and cattle. Crop production needs to be improved considering environmental and human health concerns to ensure food security. Furthermore, economically important crops are prone to attack by insect pests, causing considerable yield losses. Microbes are an eco-friendly, versatile alternative, and a potential candidate for combatting destructive pests below the economic injury level and improving the plant's health and productivity. Several microbial pathogens, including parasites, predators, parasitoids, pollinators, and many beneficial microorganisms, possess toxic properties against target organisms but do not cause harm to the non-target organisms. Entomopathogens (ENMs) have great potential for pest suppression due to their remarkable properties. Bacteria are host-specific, but fungi have a broader host range and can be significantly affected by both soil-dwelling and terrestrial insect pests. Virulent pathogens cause mortality in target insect pests known as ENMs and can penetrate through natural openings, ingestions, and integuments to cause a possible effect on target insect pests. The objective of using ENMs is to sustain productivity, improve environmental health, reduce pesticides, and conserve natural resources. Moreover, research is ongoing to discover other possible aspects, especially exploring potential ENMs. Therefore, there is a need for identification, isolation, and bioformulation to overcome the existing issues. This study is mainly focused on the status of bio-formulations, pathogenicity, their mode of action, and the potential application of different types of microbial formulations for sustainable pest management.
