Probiotics and Probionts?

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

probiotics are the friendly, native flora of your gut. Probionts are a mystery to me. There are some things called PRE-biotics that a simply the sugars (Glucooligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides, GOS and FOS) that feed these friendly bacteria. Never heard of probionts.

Sorry

Probiotics are healthy bacteria that can help in your digestion of food. I have never heard of the other.
