Probiotics and Probionts?

Can somebody tell me if they're the same things?
And what are they?

Essentially yes. Probiotics are bacteria that are useful for one form of life or another. Acidophilus, a bacteria that lactose intolerant people can take is a good example. Probionts are individual probiotic species.
