cloning, purification and characterization of the collagenase cola expressed by bacillus cereus atcc 14579.bacterial collagenases differ considerably in their structure and functions. the collagenases colh and colg from clostridium histolyticum and cola expressed by clostridium perfringens are well-characterized collagenases that cleave triple-helical collagen, which were therefore termed as ´true´ collagenases. cola from bacillus cereus (b. cereus) has been added to the collection of true collagenases. however, the molecular characteristics of b. cereus cola are less understood. in this study, we id ...201627588686
maternal weaning modulates emotional behavior and regulates the gut-brain axis.evidence shows that nutritional and environmental stress stimuli during postnatal period influence brain development and interactions between gut and brain. in this study we show that in rats, prevention of weaning from maternal milk results in depressive-like behavior, which is accompanied by changes in the gut bacteria and host metabolism. depressive-like behavior was studied using the forced-swim test on postnatal day (pnd) 25 in rats either weaned on pnd 21, or left with their mother until p ...201626903212
cloning a neutral protease of clostridium histolyticum, determining its substrate specificity, and designing a specific substrate.islet transplantation is a prospective treatment for restoring normoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes. islet isolation from pancreases by decomposition with proteolytic enzymes is necessary for transplantation. two collagenases, collagenase class i (colg) and collagenase class ii (colh), from clostridium histolyticum have been used for islet isolation. neutral proteases have been added to the collagenases for human islet isolation. a neutral protease from c. histolyticum (np) and thermol ...201526307443
inhibition of the endosymbiont "candidatus midichloria mitochondrii" during 16s rrna gene profiling reveals potential pathogens in ixodes ticks from australia.the australian paralysis tick (ixodes holocyclus) is of significant medical and veterinary importance as a cause of dermatological and neurological disease, yet there is currently limited information about the bacterial communities harboured by these ticks and the risk of infectious disease transmission to humans and domestic animals. ongoing controversy about the presence of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (the aetiological agent of lyme disease) in australia increases the need to accurately id ...201526108374
proposal to restrict the genus clostridium (prazmowski) to clostridium butyricum and related species.the genus clostridium as presently constituted is phylogenetically and phenotypically incoherent. polyphasic taxonomic data indicate that the genus comprises a collection of very heterogeneous species. numerous phylogenetic studies, principally based on sequencing of the 16s rrna gene indicate that the genus clostridium should be restricted to clostridium cluster i as clostridium sensu stricto. despite these findings, authors continue to add new species to the genus clostridium that do not fall ...201526643615
the history of collagenase clostridium histolyticum.after its u.s. fda approval in 2013, collagenase clostridium histolyticum (cch) has seen increasing use as a nonoperative treatment for peyronie's disease (pd). we review the history of cch and trials that led to its adoption.201527784601
