Interactions of Intestinal Bacteria with Components of the Intestinal Mucus
The human gut is colonized by a variety of large amounts of microbes that are collectively called intestinal microbiota. Most of these microbial residents will grow within the mucus layer that overlies the gut epithelium and will act as the first line of defense against both commensal and invading microbes. This mucus is essentially formed by mucins, a family of highly glycosylated protein that...
متن کاملIII. THE INTESTINAL MUCUS BLANKET 1. Effects of Specific Bacteria on Mucus Secretion
Mucus is secreted throughout the gastro-intestinal tract by a variety of specialised cells located in glands or in the surface epithelium. The prime func tion of the mucus layer is to protect the delicate underlying mucosa from dam age by potentially harmful agents in the lumen (such as digestive enzymes and bacteria) and by the mechanical forces associated with digestion and the pas sage of...
متن کاملMucus in Intestinal Contents of Germfree Rats
The fecal excretion of total nitrogen and of total hexosamines has been determined in germfree and conventional rats. Germfree rats excreted more hexosamines than the conventional rats, while no difference in the nitrogen excretion was found. Infection of the germfree rats with a normal flora resulted in a temporarily increased excretion of hexosamines and nitrogen over a period of 2 to 3 days ...
متن کاملIntestinal mucus alters the ability of probiotic bacteria to bind aflatoxin B1 in vitro.
Several probiotics are known to bind aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)) to their surfaces and to adhere to intestinal mucus. In this study, preincubation of two probiotic preparations with either AFB(1) or mucus reduced the subsequent surface binding of mucus and AFB(1), respectively, in a strain-dependent manner.
متن کاملthe evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology
abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...
