Detailed explanation-1: -Most bacteria belong to the genera Bacteroides, Clostridium, Faecalibacterium, Eubacterium, Ruminococcus, Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus, and Bifidobacterium. Other genera, such as Escherichia and Lactobacillus, are present to a lesser extent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bifidobacteria naturally occur in a range of ecological niches that are either directly or indirectly connected to the animal gastrointestinal tract, such as the human oral cavity, the insect gut and sewage.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dominant bacterial phyla in the gut are the Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia. The dominant bacterial families of the small intestine and colon reflect physiological differences along the length of the gut.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteroides species have a superb ability to utilize the nutrients at hand. In the large intestine, these bacteria utilize simple and complex sugars and polysaccharides for growth (118).
