Enterococcus mundtii QU 25, a non-dairy bacterial strain of ovine faecal origin, can ferment both cellobiose and xylose to produce l-lactic acid. The use this is highly desirable for economical l-lactate production from renewable biomass substrates. Genome sequence determination necessary the genetic improvement strain. We report complete genome primarily determined using Pacific Biosciences sequencing technology. E. 25 comprises 3 022 186-bp single circular chromosome (GC content, 38.6%)...
Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate derived from glucoraphanin, has antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects that may be beneficial for improving liver function. However, few studies regarding the of glucoraphanin on biological markers related to function, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GTP) in healthy individuals have been reported. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel- group trial was conducted April 22...
Influenza virus type A (IAV) is a seasonal acute respiratory disease with severe symptoms, and an effective preventive measure required. Despite many reports describing the potentially protective effects of lactic acid bacteria, few studies have investigated nutritional supplement combinations. This study effect combined intake heat-killed Lactobacillus brevis KB290 (KB290) vitamin (VA) on mice challenged sublethal dose IAV. For 2 weeks, five groups were fed either placebo, KB290, VA, or...
Influenza, a seasonal acute respiratory disease caused primarily by the influenza virus A or B, manifests with severe symptoms leading to considerable morbidity and mortality is major concern worldwide. Therefore, effective preventive measures against it are required. The aim of this trial was evaluate effects heat-killed Levilactobacillus brevis KB290 (KB290) in combination β-carotene (βC) on infections healthy Japanese subjects aged between 20 59 y throughout winter season. We performed...
The present study involves the precise identification and safety evaluation of Enterococcus casseliflavus KB1733, previously identified using 16S rRNA analysis, through whole-genome sequencing, phenotypic preclinical toxicity studies. Analyses based on genome sequencing data confirm identity KB1733 as E. show that genes related to vancomycin resistance are only chromosome, while no virulence factor chromosome or plasmid. Phenotypic analyses antibiotic hemolytic activity also indicated...
The association between lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their immunostimulatory effects has attracted considerable attention; however, it remains unclear whether LAB can induce interferon-lambdas (IFN-λs) in human epithelial cells under conditions that do not mimic infection. In this study, we first employed a reporter assay to screen for potential strain capable of inducing IFN-λ3 among 135 strains derived from traditional Japanese pickles. Next, assessed the strain's ability expression...
