Mucin degradation by Bifidobacterium strains isolated from the human intestinal microbiota.
The presence of the genes engBF (endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase) and afcA (1,2-alpha-L-fucosidase) was detected in several intestinal Bifidobacterium isolates. Two strains of Bifidobacterium bifidum contained both genes, and they were able to degrade high-molecular weight porcine mucin in vitro. The expression of both genes was highly induced in the presence of mucin.
متن کاملScreening of exopolysaccharide-producing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains isolated from the human intestinal microbiota.
Using phenotypic approaches, we have detected that 17% of human intestinal Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains could be exopolysaccharide (EPS) producers. However, PCR techniques showed that only 7% harbored genes related to the synthesis of heteropolysaccharides. This is the first work to screen the human intestinal ecosystem for the detection of EPS-producing strains.
متن کاملtannic acid degradation by klebsiella strains isolated from goat feces
background and objectives: tannins are toxic polyphenols that either bind and precipitate or condense proteins. the high tannin content of some plants is the preliminary limitation of using them as a ruminant feed. so, the aim of this study was the isolation and characterization of tannic acid degrading bacterial strains from goat feces before and after feeding on pis- tachio-soft hulls as tann...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Bifidobacterium Strains N4G05 and N5G01, Isolated from the Human Vaginal Microbiome
We report here the draft genome sequences of Bifidobacterium strains N4G05 and N5G01, isolated from the human vaginal microbiome. Genome sequences were obtained by de novo assembly from high-quality reads. Both strains were closely related to Bifidobacterium kashiwanohense based on barcode marker sequences and average nucleotide identity analysis.
متن کاملDegradation of human intestinal glycosphingolipids by extracellular glycosidases from mucin-degrading bacteria of the human fecal flora.
Certain normal strains of human fecal bacteria are unique in producing extracellular glycosidases that degrade the oligosaccharide chains of gut mucin glycoproteins. We have studied the action of such glycosidases partially purified from the cell-free supernates of five of these strains on intestinal glycosphingolipids isolated from human meconium. The glycolipids were sialosyl-lactosylceramide...
