Do we know specific pro-biotic species that have been found to be significantly more beneficial than the rest? How do we know?
Does "pro-biotic" refer only to beneficial prokaryotic organisms or are there known beneficial "pro-biotic" foreign eukaryotes?

- blacksmith_tb 13y agoThere are some eukaryotes, yes, e.g. Saccharomyces boulardii.
