This project investigates the role of the protist Blastocystis in human intestinal health, particularly in relation to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It aims to analyze its prevalence and genetic diversity, along with interactions with intestinal bacteria, using advanced molecular techniques.
It is now realised that the human intestinal microbiota is central to health and wellbeing.
However, the vast amount of research into the human microbiome has focused primarily on the prokaryotic (bacterial) component of this complex microbial ecosystem and we understand virtually nothing of the eukaryotic species, such as the protists, that are known to play critical roles in structuring microbial communities in other natural ecosystems.
Blastocystis is the most common protist in the human inte…
