Probiotics maintain the gut microbiome homeostasis during Indian Antarctic expedition by ship
Abstract Ship voyage to Antarctica is a stressful journey for expedition members. The response of human gut microbiota to ship voyage and a feasible approach to maintain gut health, is still unexplored. The present findings describe a 24-day long longitudinal study involving 19 members from 38th Ind...
