Abstract: Preparations of glycan therapeutics, pharmaceutical compositions and medical foods thereof, optionally comprising micronutrients, polyphenols, prebiotics, probiotics, or other agents are provided and methods of making same. Also provided are methods of using said glycan therapeutics, e.g. for the modulation of human gastrointestinal microbiota and to treat dysbioses.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are therapeutic compositions containing non-pathogenic, germination-competent bacterial spores, for the prevention, control, and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, disorders and conditions and for general nutritional health.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for populating the gastrointestinal tract of a subject are described. Methods include administering to a subject a therapeutic composition comprising a purified population of spore-forming bacteria produced by providing a fecal material and subjecting the material to a treatment step resulting in purification of spore forming bacteria. Methods include administering an amount effective to engraft and/or augment in the gastrointestinal tract in order to treat or prevent a dysbiosis in the mammalian subject.

Abstract: Provided are defined bacterial compositions for the maintenance or restoration of a healthy microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract of a mammalian subject, and methods for populating the gastrointestinal tract of a subject. Provided also are bacterial formulations for oral or gastric administration to a mammalian subject in an effective amount for prevention or treatment of a gastrointestinal disease, disorder or condition.

Abstract: This application relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a seed or seedling of an agricultural plant (e.g., an agricultural grass plant), or the agricultural plant derived from the seed or seedling. For example, this application provides purified bacterial populations that include novel seed-origin bacterial endophytes, and synthetic combinations of seeds and/or seedlings (e.g., cereal seeds and/or seedlings) with heterologous seed-derived bacterial endophytes.
