Provided herein are microorganisms engineered with heme-responsive transcription factors and genetic circuits. Also provided are methods for using engineered microorganisms to sense bleeding events and treat bleeding in vivo.
摘要:
Biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are described. RA-associated metagenomic linkage groups (MLGs) have been identified and validated in gut and oral microbiotas. These MLGs are used in systems, methods and products for identifying a subject suffering from RA or having risk of developing RA, monitoring the efficacy of an RA treatment in a subject, or selecting or modifying a treatment for an RA patient.
摘要:
Fusion-proteins containing an enzyme, preferably a feed or food enzyme, coupled to a gut surface-binding domain are presented. The fusion-proteins can be used to promote feed utilization in animals. In a particular example, a Fusion enzyme according to the invention comprising a gut-surface-binding polypeptide segment linked to a phytase show an increased resident time in the gut, which leads to an increased amount of time given to the enzyme to catalyse the corresponding reaction which finally leads to improved feed utilisation.

摘要:
The present invention provides therapeutic and prophylactic compositions for use in treating and preventing disorders involved epithelial cell apoptosis, such as gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) in a subject, such as a human patient.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a protective peptide of Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) or a functional active variant thereof, optionally further consisting of additional amino acid residue(s); a nucleic acid coding for the same; a pharmaceutical composition comprising said peptide or said nucleic acid; an antibody or functional active fragment thereof specifically binding to the antigen; a hybridoma cell line which produces said antibody; a method for producing said antibody; a pharmaceutical composition comprising said antibody; the use of said peptide or said nucleic acid for the manufacture of a medicament for the immunization or treatment of a subject; the use of said antibody or functional fragment thereof for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of an infection; a method of diagnosing an E. faecalis infection; and the use of said peptide for the isolation and/or purification and/or identification of an interaction partner of the peptide.

摘要:
Novel peptides produced by bacteriocin-producing bacteria stimulate the production of bacteriocins in vitro. The producer bacteria are cultured in the presence of a novel inducer bacteria and a peptide having a carboxy terminal sequence of VKGLT in order to achieve an increase in bacteriocin production.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria strains Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MM19 accession number NML-080508-01and Pediococcus acidilactici MM33 accession number NML-080508-02 isolated from the human gut. The strains L. lactis subsp. l actis MM19 and P. acidilactici MM33 and the bacteriocins produced by these strains are useful for inhibiting microbial growth in food products, and for inhibiting microbial infection or colonization of a mammal.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a lactic acid bacterium isolated from human mother's milk, more precisely a Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17 strain that is isolated from Korean mother's milk and has excellent probiotic activity including acid resistance, bile acid resistance and antimicrobial activity and weight gaining inhibitory effect as well. Again, the Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17 of the present invention has excellent acid resistance, bile acid resistance, enteric absorption activity and antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microorganisms, in addition to the weight gaining inhibitory effect by synthesizing indigestible polysaccharides from monosaccharides included in food taken and releasing the synthesized polysaccharides out of the body. Therefore, the strain of the invention, owing to such beneficiary effects, can be effectively used not only for the production of fermented milk, other fermented food products and animal feeds but also for the production of live cell products and food additives for preventing weight gaining.
