In alternative embodiments, the invention provides liquid preparations or formulations de-rived from a human fecal material (e.g., a stool) processed, e.g., filtered and/or centrifuged, such that all bacteria, fungal spores and viruses are removed, but retaining the native [0 biologically active molecules from the fecal material and bacteriophages. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides a "rough-", "incomplete-" or medium-filtered microbiota which still comprises native physiological components or nutritive agents for the bacteria, e.g., retains native biologically and nutritionally active components. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides a highly filtered or substantially purified micro biota in combination with, or [5 having added back, a liquid preparation or formulation of the invention. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides compositions or formulations where the bacteria, or micro biota, component has been cultured, or cultured under anaerobic conditions, or harvested, stored and/or cultured under anaerobic conditions. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides various additives, compositions and donor restrictions for treating these disorders and conditions.
