    摘要: A method for cost-effectively and efficiently culturing Akkermansia muciniphila is described. High biomass yields can be obtained on chemically defined media. This allows for large scale production of A. muciniphila suitable for use in humans, such as for pharmaceutical or food applications. The A. muciniphila can be produced free of animal-derived products, thereby allowing a broad-range of applications.

    摘要: The invention is concerned with a bacterium comprising a inositol to propionic acid pathway gene set that allows said bacterium to convert inositol to propionic acid or a salt or ester thereof. The bacterium can be used as a probiotic or supplement to promote production of propionic acid in the GI tract, thereby preventing and/or treating conditions or diseases that benefit from the production of propionic acid, for example metabolic disease, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance or insulin resistance-related conditions, particularly dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus and insulin-resistance in endocrine diseases.

    摘要: A novel Akkermansia species has been isolated from fresh faeces obtained from the reticulated python. The species has been named Akkermansia glycaniphilus. It is capable of growing on mucus as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. The species can be used as a medicament, probiotic or cosmetic, e.g., for promoting weight loss, for promoting gut mucosal immune system function, for maintaining, restoring and/or increasing the physical integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, and for prevention or treatment of a variety of associated diseases or disorders.
