Identification and cloning of a gene encoding tannase (tannin acylhydrolase) from Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 14917T

Identification and molecular cloning of glutamate decarboxylase gene from Lactobacillus casei

Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) possesses several physiological functions such as neurotransmission, induction of hypotension, diuretic and tranquilizer effects. Production of GABA-enriched products by lactic acid bacteria has been a focus of different researches in recent years because of their safety and health-promoting specifities. In this study, glutamate decarboxylase (gad) gene of a loca...

Tannin degradation by a novel tannase enzyme present in 3 some Lactobacillus plantarum strains 4 5 6 7

Cloning, Expression, and Purification of a GDSL-like Lipase/Acylhydrolase from a Native Lipase-Producing Bacterium, Lactobacillus fermentum

Background: Lipase enzymes are of great importance in various industries. Currently, extensive efforts have been focused on exploring new lipase producer microorganism as well as genetic and protein engineering of available lipases to improve their functional features. Methods: For screening lipase-producing lactobacilli, isolated strains were inoculated onto tributyrin agar plates. Molecular ...

Identification of Lactobacillus plantarum in Breast Milk

Backgrounds : The role of potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria of human milk   in  the  early  colonization and protection of infant against infections is the subject of increasing researches. Colonization with Lactobacillus plantarum in early infancy is suggested to be important for health in later life. However, we presently investigated the strain of Lactobacil...

Cloning, deletion, and characterization of PadR, the transcriptional repressor of the phenolic acid decarboxylase-encoding padA gene of Lactobacillus plantarum.

Lactobacillus plantarum displays a substrate-inducible padA gene encoding a phenolic acid decarboxylase enzyme (PadA) that is considered a specific chemical stress response to the inducing substrate. The putative regulator of padA was located in the padA locus based on its 52% identity with PadR, the padA gene transcriptional regulator of Pediococcus pentosaceus (L. Barthelmebs, B. Lecomte, C. ...
