A method for stimulating growth of a bacterium of the Bacteroidetes phylum in a gut of a mammal, the method comprising:
- selecting a mammal in need of stimulated growth of bacteria of the Bacteroidetes phylum in the gut of the mammal;
- preparing a yeast product by subjecting a yeast cream to plasmolysis at a temperature between 70° C. and 95° C., treating at 60° C. with a mix of two glucanases and a mix of endo and exo-ribonucleases, centrifuging to obtain an insoluble yeast protein extract, and washing the insoluble yeast protein extract to obtain the yeast product;
- administering the yeast product as a prebiotic agent to the mammal;
- and
- stimulating growth of the bacterium of the Bacteroidetes phylum in the gut of the mammal,
- wherein the yeast product comprises walls of yeast cells or a fraction thereof.
