| immunological evaluation of lactobacillus casei zhang: a newly isolated strain from koumiss in inner mongolia, china. | there is increasing evidence to suggest an immunomodulation function both within the intestines and systemically upon consuming probiotic species. we recently isolated a novel lab, lactobacillus caseizhang (lczhang) from koumiss. lczhang exhibited favorable probiotic properties, such as acid resistance, bile resistance, gastrointestinal (gi) colonization ability, etc. in order to examine the immunomodulatory qualities of lczhang, we administered lczhang to healthy mice with varying doses of eith ... | 2008 | 19019236 |
| proteomics analysis of lactobacillus casei zhang, a new probiotic bacterium isolated from traditional home-made koumiss in inner mongolia of china. | lactobacillus casei zhang, isolated from traditional home-made koumiss in inner mongolia of china, was considered as a new probiotic bacterium by probiotic selection tests. we carried out a proteomics study to identify and characterize proteins expressed by l. casei zhang in the exponential phase and stationary phase. cytosolic proteins of the strain cultivated in de man, rogosa, and sharpe broth were resolved by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis using ph 4-7 linear gradients. the number of pr ... | 2009 | 19508964 |
| complete genome sequence of lactobacillus casei zhang, a new probiotic strain isolated from traditional homemade koumiss in inner mongolia, china. | lactobacillus casei zhang is a new probiotic bacterium isolated from koumiss collected in inner mongolia, china. here, we report the main genome features of l. casei zhang and the identification of several predicted proteins implicated in interactions with the host. | 2010 | 20675486 |
| validation of reference genes for real-time quantitative pcr studies in gene expression levels of lactobacillus casei zhang. | lactobacillus casei zhang, a potential probiotic strain isolated from homemade koumiss in inner mongolia of china, has been sequenced and deposited in genbank. real-time quantitative pcr is one of the most widely used methods to study related gene expression levels of lactobacillus casei zhang. for accurate and reliable gene expression analysis, normalization of gene expression data using one or more appropriate reference genes is essential. we used three statistical methods (genorm, normfinder, ... | 2010 | 21104423 |
| isolation and identification of lactic acid bacteria from tarag in eastern inner mongolia of china by 16s rrna sequences and dgge analysis. | tarag is a characteristic fermented dairy product with rich microflora (especially lactic acid bacteria), developed by the people of mongolian nationality in inner mongolia of china and mongolia throughout history. one hundred and ninety-eight samples of tarag were collected from scattered households in eastern inner mongolia, and total of 790 isolates of lactic acid bacteria (lab) were isolated by traditional pure culture method. to identify these isolates and analyze their biodiversity, 16s rr ... | 2011 | 21689912 |
| the diversity of intestinal microbiota of mongolians living in inner mongolia, china. | the mongolian nationality has developed their unique lifestyle and dietary habit for thousands of years. however, by now, little research has been focused on mongolian gut microbiota and how it is related to different dietary habits. in this study, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) methods were applied to reveal the diversity of predominant gut bacteria of 48 healthy mongolians recruited from hohhot city and the xilin gol pasturing a ... | 2013 | 24311315 |
