The intestinal microbiota structure was significantly influenced by the probiotic treatment while still maintaining a stable core dominant community of Enterobacteriacea. The  colony with these microbiome had the most improved potential functions in terms of gut microbes as well as the carbohydrates active enzymes most improved potential functions.

Methylovirgula

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Methylovirgula is ubiquitous in soil and has been found in many soil samples as a major species producing carbon activity, scholars have found that the microorganism has the highest content in mixed peat swamp forest systems and has the effect of harnessing and reducing methane

Rhodobacter

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Rhodanobacter genera can utilize various carbon sources, including cellobiose. In larvae of longhorned beetles that feed on plants rich in carbohydrates (cellulose and hemicellulose) and lignin, Rhodanobacter can help the larvae digest more carbon nutrients through carbon sequestration
