| lactobacillus composti sp. nov., a lactic acid bacterium isolated from a compost of distilled shochu residue. | two strains of lactic acid bacteria, strains nric 0689(t) and nric 0690, were isolated from a compost of distilled shochu residue in japan. the isolates showed quite low sequence similarity to known species of lactic acid bacteria on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence; the highest sequence similarities to nric 0689(t) were shown by the type strains of lactobacillus satsumensis, l. plantarum, l. hilgardii, l. buchneri and l. parabuchneri (92.9, 92.9, 92.8, 92.6 and 92.5 %, respectively). the iso ... | 2007 | 17392222 |
| culture-independent analysis of lactic acid bacteria diversity associated with mezcal fermentation. | mezcal is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the distillation of fermented juices of cooked agave spp. plant stalks (agave must), and each region in mexico with denomination of origin uses defined agave species to prepare mezcal with unique organoleptic characteristics. during fermentation to produce mezcal in the state of tamaulipas, not only alcohol-producing yeasts are involved, but also a lactic acid bacterial community that has not been characterized yet. in order to address this lack of k ... | 2010 | 20383505 |
| lactobacillus floricola sp. nov., lactic acid bacteria isolated from mountain flowers. | five strains (ryu1-2(t), gon2-9, ryu4-3, nog8-1 and aza1-1) of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from flowers in mountainous areas in japan, oze national park, iizuna mountain and the nikko area. the five isolates were found to share almost identical (99.6-100 % similar) 16s rrna gene sequences and were therefore deemed to belong to the same species. these isolates exhibited low levels of 16s rrna gene sequence similarity to known lactic acid bacteria; the closest recognized relatives to strain ... | 2010 | 20601482 |
| identification of novel anti-inflammatory probiotic strains isolated from pulque. | probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits on the host. their use is more and more widespread for both prevention and treatment of diseases, including traveler’s diarrhea and inflammatory bowel diseases (ibds). in this work, we isolated and characterized novel candidate probiotic strains from pulque (xaxtle), a traditional mexican alcoholic fermented beverage. a total of 14 strains were obtained from xaxtle samples isolated from three d ... | 2016 | 26476654 |
| an nadph-dependent lactobacillus composti short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase: characterization and application to (r)-1-phenylethanol synthesis. | a new anti-prelog short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (sdr) encoding gene lcsdr was cloned from lactobacillus composti dsm 18527, and heterologously expressed in escherichia coli. lcsdr is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (nadph)-dependent and has a molecular weight of approximately 30 kda. the optimal ph and temperature were 6.5 and 30 °c, respectively. the maximal reaction rate vmax was 133.9 u mg(-1); the michaelis-menten constant k m of lcsdr were 0.345 mm for acetophenone (1a), a ... | 2017 | 28623564 |
| draft genome sequences of two lactobacillus strains, l. farraginis jcm 14108t and l. composti jcm 14202t, isolated from compost of distilled shōchū residue. | here, we report the draft genome sequences of two type strains of lactobacillus, lactobacillus farraginis jcm 14108(t) and lactobacillus composti jcm 14202(t), isolated from the compost of distilled shōchū residue. their genome information will be useful for studies of ecological and physiological functions of these lactobacillus species. | 2014 | 24675866 |
