The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a cosmetic or dermatological active principle, comprising the culturing of at least one nonphotosynthetic and nonfruiting filamentous bacterium on a medium comprising at least one nonsulphurous mineral and/or thermal water. It also relates to a cosmetic or dermatological composition comprising at least one bacterium of the genus Vitreoscilla or one of its extracts.

The present invention provides compositions that modulate gut microbiota and/or the activity of deoxyribonucleases (e.g., in the gastrointestinal tract) and are useful in the treatment of diseases and disorders related to the activity of deoxyribonucleases including, for example, neurodegenerative, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases and cancer.
