Although the genomes of bifidobacteria code for putative l-fucose transporters, as already discussed, the pathways for the catabolism of this sugar have not been elucidated for this group, which is in contrast to the idea that the presence of an l-fucose metabolism constitutes an advantage to ...
An example of nisin A-induced heterologous expression of the xyloside transporter (XylP) from Lactobacillus pentosus is shown in Fig. 2. Sign in to download full-size image Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the nisin A expression system. The genes encoding NisK and NisR are integrated in ...
predisposition to acquiring STIs and UTIs and during pregnancy, an increased risk of preterm birth8,9,10,46. However, host inflammatory response to vaginal taxa is highly heterogenous yet closely linked to pathophysiology18,47,48. For example, we ...
Multiple genes per genome can belong to a single gene family, resulting in a lower number of gene families per genome than the reported number of genes. A gene not finding a match with the given criteria is put in its own gene family as a singleton. An accumulative pan-genome was ...
Constipation is a common problem, and almost everyone has been constipated at one time or another. There are foods that can help prevent constipation and also provide relief, for example, kiwi, prunes, beans (your choice of type), berries, certain seeds, potatoes, and popcorn. What Is Good...
Besides an altered interaction with the immune system, a disrupted mucosal microbiota may result in increased colonisation by (potential) pathogens correlated with infectious or chronic gastrointestinal diseases. As an example, the mucosal microbiota of Crohn's disease (CD) patients is characterised by ...
Time course analysis of wild-type culture supernatants by LC/MS indicated that LamD558 production was increased markedly from mid-log to late log growth phase. This is the first example of an agr-like system in nonpathogenic bacteria that encodes a cyclic thiolactone autoinducing peptide and is...
This type of injury occurs when there is an insufficient oxygen supply to the liver, followed by reperfusion, leading to inflammatory responses and oxidative stress that result in cell death [2]. Although pharmacotherapy has shown promise in preventing or mitigating I/R injury in experimental ...
The sequential dominance of different Lactobacillus species is partly due to their varying pH and ethanol tolerances (Davis et al., 1986b). For example, L. plantarum ceases growth at ethanol concentrations of 5-6% v/v, while L. casei and L. brevis are more ethanol tolerant (Wibowo et al...
An example of a widely used empirical model is described in [12]. Mechanistic or semi-mechanistic models are based on knowledge of the biological processes involved, such as the model described in [13]. Predictive microbiology modeling uses primary and secondary models. Primary models, like in ...
