Development of an efficient in vivo system (Pjunc-TpaseIS1223) for random transposon mutagenesis of Lactobacillus casei.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The random transposon mutagenesis system P(junc)-TpaseIS(1223) is composed of plasmids pVI129, expressing IS1223 transposase, and pVI110, a suicide transposon plasmid carrying the P(junc) sequence, the substrate of the IS1223 transposase. This system is particularly efficient in Lactobacillus casei, as more than 10,000 stable, random mutants were routinely obtained via electroporation.

Functional genomics of Lactobacillus casei establishment in the gut.
Although the composition of the gut microbiota and its symbiotic contribution to key host physiological functions are well established, little is known as yet about the bacterial factors that account for this symbiosis. We selected Lactobacillus casei as a model microorganism to proceed to genomewide identification of the functions required for a symbiont to establish colonization in the gut. A...
متن کاملTransposon Mutagenesis of Probiotic Lactobacillus casei Identifies asnH, an Asparagine Synthetase Gene Involved in Its Immune-Activating Capacity
Lactobacillus casei ATCC 27139 enhances host innate immunity, and the J1 phage-resistant mutants of this strain lose the activity. A transposon insertion mutant library of L. casei ATCC 27139 was constructed, and nine J1 phage-resistant mutants out of them were obtained. Cloning and sequencing analyses identified three independent genes that were disrupted by insertion of the transposon element...
متن کاملNon-Viable Lactobacillus Casei Beneficially Modulates Poly I:C Immune Response in Co-Cultures of Human Cells
Background: Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly-IC) has been used as a viral stimulus to mimic in vivo and in vitro infection induced by some viruses. Objective: To determine whether non-viable Lactobacillus casei CRL431 (LcM) can modulate the immune response induced by Poly I:C in co-culture models of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and A549 cells. Methods: T and NK cell activati...
متن کاملCombined Extract of Heated 4T1 and a Heat-Killed Preparation of Lactobacillus Casei in a Mouse Model of Breast Cancer
Background: The adjuvanticity potential of Lactobacillus casei was first suggested in an old survey. The present study was designed to investigate the efficacy of a new immunotherapy against breast cancer made by mixing an extract of heated 4T1 mammary carcinoma cell line and a heat-killed preparation of Lactobacillus casei.Methods: Female BALB/c mice (6–8 weeks old, n=40) were challenged subcu...
متن کاملEffects of Lactobacillus casei probiotics on growth performance, blood parameters and intestinal microbial flora in juvenile goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Lactobacillus casei probiotic is one of the probiotics used in aquaculture industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus casei probiotic on the growth performance, blood parameters, and intestinal microbial flora in goldfish (Carassius auratus) for 60 days. In this study, 180 fish with an average weight of 10.11± 0.16 g were randomly distributed into two treatments...
