Biological functions of exopolysaccharides from probiotic bacteria
Probiotic bacteria have the ability to produce exocellular polymers called exopolysaccharides (EPS). It has been suggested that the health benefit of probiotic bacteria can be attributed to the production of EPS. However, the composition, structure and biological functions of EPS may vary depending on the type of microorganism and environmental conditions. Some data suggest that EPS production ...
متن کاملRhizobial exopolysaccharides: genetic control and symbiotic functions
Specific complex interactions between soil bacteria belonging to Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Phylorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium and Azorhizobium commonly known as rhizobia, and their host leguminous plants result in development of root nodules. Nodules are new organs that consist mainly of plant cells infected with bacteroids that provide the host plant with fixed nitrogen. Proper nodu...
متن کاملBiological characterization of marine fish pathogen, Acinetobacter sp. strain An 2 producing antibacterial metabolites
This study presents antibacterial activity of several organic metabolites produced by a fish pathogen, Acinetobacter sp. strain An 2, from marine ecosystem of Goa. Cell extract demonstrated stronger inhibitory effects on Gram negative bacteria as compared to common antibiotics. GC-MS analysis of crude cell extract revealed presence of potential antimicrobials (butylated hydroxytoluene, phenol, ...
متن کاملFunctions of the mismatch repair gene mutS from Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1.
The genus Acinetobacter encompasses a heterogeneous group of bacteria that are ubiquitous in the natural environment due in part to their ability to adapt genetically to novel challenges. Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1 (also known as strain BD413) is naturally transformable and takes up DNA from any source. Donor DNA can be integrated into the chromosome by recombination provided it possesses su...
متن کاملAcinetobacter kookii sp. nov., isolated from soil.
Two Gram-stain-negative, non-fermentative bacterial strains, designated 11-0202(T) and 11-0607, were isolated from soil in South Korea, and four others, LUH 13522, LUH 8638, LUH 10268 and LUH 10288, were isolated from a beet field in Germany, soil in the Netherlands, and sediment of integrated fish farms in Malaysia and Thailand, respectively. Based on 16S rRNA, rpoB and gyrB gene sequences, th...
