Whole genome sequencing analysis of Limosilactobacillus reuteri from the intestinal tract of mice recovering from ulcerative colitis and preliminary study on anti-inflammatory effects of its derived peptides
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Mar 5;206(4):140. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03906-8.ABSTRACTLimosilactobacillus reuteri is an indigenous inhabitant of the animal gut known for its probiotic effects on the host. In our previous study, a large number of L. reuteri strains were isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of mice recovering from ulcerative colitis, from which we randomly selected L. reuteri RE225 for whole genome sequencing to explore its probiotic properties. The results of next-generation sequencing and third-generation single molecule sequencing showed that L. reuteri RE225 contained many genes encoding functional proteins...

Antimicrobial, anti-adhesive, and anti-invasive effects of condition media derived from adipose mesenchymal stem cells against Shigella flexneri
The objective of the current study was to examine the antimicrobial, anti-adhesion, and anti-invasion properties of various concentrations of condition media obtained from adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs CM) against Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri). AD-MSCs characterization and antimicrobial assay were performed using flow cytometry and microdilution by colony counting, respectively. For evaluating adhesion and invasion, Caco-2 cells were infected by S. flexneri at three different multiplicities of infection (MOIs of 1, 10, and 50) and then treated with DMEM medium and AD-MSCs CM. The inhibitory effect of AD-MSCs CM...

Xiashengella succiniciproducens gen. nov., sp. nov., a succinate-producing bacterium isolated from an anaerobic digestion tank in the family Marinilabiliaceae of the order Bacteroidales
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Mar 5;206(4):141. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03909-5.ABSTRACTA strictly anaerobic, motile bacterium, designated as strain Ai-910T, was isolated from the sludge of an anaerobic digestion tank in China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative rods. Optimal growth was observed at 38 °C (growth range 25-42 °C), pH 8.5 (growth range 5.5-10.5), and under a NaCl concentration of 0.06% (w/v) (range 0-2.0%). Major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The respiratory quinone was MK-7. Using xylose as the growth substrate, succinate was produced as the fermentation product. Phylogenetic analysis based...

Genome mining of Bacillus licheniformis MCC2514 for the identification of lasso peptide biosynthetic gene cluster and its characterization
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Mar 5;206(4):143. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03877-w.ABSTRACTThe probiotic strain Bacillus licheniformis MCC2514 has been shown to produce a strong antibacterial peptide and the whole genome sequence of this strain is also reported in our previous study. The present study is focused on the genome level investigation of this peptide antibiotic and its characterization. Genome mining of the culture revealed the presence of three putative bacteriocin clusters, viz. lichenicidin, sonorensin and lasso peptide. Hence, the mode of action of the peptide was investigated by reporter assay, scanning electron micros...
