Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA): Postbiotics such as acetate, propionate and butyrate inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria by lowering the pH of the gut and creating an unfavorable environment for harmful microbes. They also promote the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which help restore microbial diversity.
Quorum sensing molecules: these signaling molecules improve microbial communication and promote cooperative behavior among beneficial bacteria, thereby enhancing the stability of the microbial community.
