The model probioticLactobacillus plantarumWCFS1 was co-cultivated in yoghurt.LP-WCFS1 was precultured under elevated NaCl and low pH stress conditions.Technological implication of LP-WCFS1 and its stress-adapted cells was evaluated.Incorporation of stress-adapted LP-WCFS1 influenced post-acidification ...
plantarum WCFS1 isolated from patients with RA was administered orally for 5 weeks, starting from 2 weeks before the induction of arthritis in DBA/1 mice. Clinical score progression, histological changes, serum cytokine concentrations, and the proportion of interleukin (IL)-17-producing T cells [...
The genome of the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 reveals the presence of a rich repertoire of esterases and lipases highlighting their important role in cellular metabolism. Among them is the carboxylesterase LpEst1 a bacterial enzyme related to the mammalian hormone-sensitive lipase...
In this study we present the first genome-wide experimental analysis of the functionality of SPs from lactic acid bacteria. We have conducted a functional analysis of 76 of the 93 signal peptides fromL. plantarumWCFS1 that were predicted by Kleerebezem et al. [2] to be processed by signal...
Background Lactobacillus plantarum is commonly used in industrial fermentation processes. Selected strains are also marketed as probiotics for their health beneficial effects. Although the functional role of peptidoglycan-degrading enzymes is increasingl
plantarum WCFS1 by a systematic gene deletion strategy. Characterization of mutant cell morphology, growth, and autolytic behavior, in a range of conditions showed that 4 PGHs (Acm2, Lys2, LytA, and LytH) play important roles either in the cell cycle or in the autolysis process of L. ...

Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus by Lysostaphin-Expressing Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 in a Modified Genital Tract Secretion Medium (putatively identified as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) with the signal sequence of Lp_3014 exhibited lysostaphin activity on buffered medium ...

(< and >). The functional categories of the proteins encoded by the genes that are under the control of LacI-family TFs are color-coded as depicted in the inset. The functional annotations were taken from the in-house annotation database ofL. plantarumWCFS1 ([38] and C. Francke ...
We found that APCs from HIV-infected patients produced an enhanced inflammatory response to Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 as compared to APCs from healthy, HIV-negative controls. Increased APC expression of TLR2 and CD36, signaling through p38-MAPK, and decreased expression of MAP kinase phosphatase...
