2′FL and LNnT Exert Antipathogenic Effects against C. difficile ATCC 9689 In Vitro, Coinciding with Increased Levels of ...
Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium difficile) infection (CDI) is one of the most common hospital-acquired infections, which is often triggered by a dysbiosed indigenous gut microbiota (e.g., upon antibiotic therapy). Symptoms can be as severe as life-threatening colitis. The current study assessed the antipathogenic potential of human m...
Phenotypic and Genetic Characterization of Temperature-Induced Mutagenesis and Mortality in Cupriavidus metallidurans
Cupriavidus metallidurans strains display a decreased viability when incubated in rich medium at a temperature of 37°C compared to their normal growth temperature of 30°C, a phenomenon coined "temperature-induced mortality and mutagenesis" (TIMM). To scrutinize this aberrant phenotype further, the contributions of specific inducers and protective a...
Multicolor Coding Up-Conversion Nanoplatform for Rapid Screening of Multiple Foodborne Pathogens
Technologies for rapid screening of multiple foodborne pathogens have been urgently needed because of the complex food matrix and high outbreaks of foodborne diseases. In this study, multicolor coding up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were synthesized and applied for rapid and simultaneous detection of five kinds of foodborne pathogens. The multi...

The Future of Functional Clothing for an Improved Skin and Textile Microbiome Relationship
The skin microbiome has become a hot field of research in the last few years. The emergence of next-generation sequencing has given unprecedented insights into the impact and involvement of microbiota in skin conditions. More and more cosmetics contain probiotics or bacteria as an active ingredient, with or without scientific data. This research is...
Deep ocean metagenomes provide insight into the metabolic architecture of bathypelagic microbial communities
...
The deep sea, the largest ocean's compartment, drives planetary-scale biogeochemical cycling. Yet, the functional exploration of its microbial communities lags far behind other environments. Here we analyze 58 metagenomes from tropical and subtropical deep oceans to generate the Malaspina Gene Database. Free-living or particle-attached lifestyles d...
Bacillus Subtilis 29784 as a Feed Additive for Broilers Shifts the Intestinal Microbial Composition and Supports the Pro...
...
The probiotic Bacillus subtilis strain 29784 (Bs29784) has been shown to improve performance in broilers. In this study, we used a metabolomic and 16S rRNA gene sequencing approach to evaluate effects of Bs29874 in the broiler intestine. Nicotinic acid and hypoxanthine were key metabolites that were produced by the strain in vitro and were also fou...
Effects of inhibitions by sodium ion and ammonia and different inocula on acetate-utilizing methanogenesis: Methanogenic...
Acetate-fed anaerobic sequential batch experiments with four different inhibitory conditions (non-inhibitory (Lo), sodium-ion inhibitory (Na), ammonia inhibitory (Am), combined inhibitory (Hi)) were conducted using thirteen different inocula to investigate the inhibition effects by sodium-ion and ammonia and different inocula on acetate-utilizing m...
Effect of a carotenoid-producing Bacillus strain on intestinal barrier integrity and systemic delivery of carotenoids : ...
...
The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of the carotenoid-producing Bacillus indicus strain PD01 on intestinal barrier function and its ability to survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract and to assess systemic bioavailability of these carotenoids in vivo. As model for impaired barrier function, 16 early weaned piglets wer...
