making, yeast helps leaven the dough by producing carbon dioxide, which causes the bread to rise in volume. This has been a common practice in baking for centuries (Castro et al.,2022). The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans are known to have utilized fermentation in the production of v...
Diabetes is a condition of multifactorial origin, involving several molecular mechanisms related to the intestinal microbiota for its development. In type 2 diabetes, receptor activation and recognition by microorganisms from the intestinal lumen may tri
subtilis, separates σBsuH from the other sigma factors in that species and argues for the existence of a σH-type family in Firmicutes [12]. σH-like factors appear to form groups mostly congruent with the genus phylogeny, irrespective of the location of the relevant gene in the genomes ...
The chromosomal DNA of LGG and derived ODNs were also shown to be strong in vivo inducers of murine B cell proliferation and were able to stimulate TH1 immunity in murine splenocyte cells [86]. ID35 isolated form LGG genome even seems to be beneficial in allergy prevention in an ...
the bacteria themselves must endure a number of stresses to ensure they reach the target site in adequate numbers to elicit an effect. These stresses can be considered in two distinct contexts; firstly, probiotic bacteria must be processed in suitable form to enable oral consumption and secondly ...
Both two strains of L. acidophilus used in the study [N-2 and NCFM] caused a significant decrease in the activities of the three fecal enzymes after a ten-days lactobacilli feeding. Having stopped the bacterial feedings, fecal enzyme levels returned to normal after four weeks, suggesting that...
Beneficial effects of postbiotics on the gut barrier were observed by eliminating the risk of intestinal translocation or local inflammation [108]. Pretreatment of SLP from L. acidophilus NCFM improved integrity and permeability, restored ZO-1 and occludin protein expression in Caco-2 cells. More...
Finally, in a single step, MurF adds two residues in the form of a dipeptide (D-Ala-D-Ala) or a depsipeptide (D-Ala-D-Lac), whose synthesis requires D-D-ligases (Ddl). Specific racemases convert the naturally occurring L-stereoisomer of Ala and Glu to the D-forms found in PG [...
acidophilus strain NCFM interacts with human DCs eliciting an anti-inflammatory IL-10 response and it promotes the Th2-differentiation of T-cells through DC:s; the S-layer protein has been shown to have a role in this response [12]. Prompted by these findings, we examined the potential of...
taiwanensis form a clear-cut cluster containing an ABC transporter and hypothetical proteins, which is flanked by transposases (LJ1292-LJ1298). This cluster is absent in all other strains of L. johnsonii and L. gasseri analyzed to date. Taken together, these observations strongly argue for an ...
