ABSTRACT:
A method and a system is disclosed for the modulation of various characteristics of probiotic cells and for the production of probiotics having altered characteristics. Such altered characteristics include increased resistance to various stresses, drugs and chemical agents, as well as aggregation. Such a method and a system are useful for the production of probiotics with altered characteristics, which may for example provide health benefits when present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal.
