CNCM I-4866, a potential probiotic candidate, shows anti-inflammatory properties and .

Introduction: The aim of this work was to characterize a new strain of (CNCM I-4866) (CNCM I-4866) to address its potential as probiotic with a special focus on intestinal inflammation. Potential anti-inflammatory abilities of this strain were evaluated through and experiments.

Methods: Firstly, the strain was tested in a murine acute inflammation colitis model induced by DNBS.

Metatranscriptomics of cheese microbial communities: Efficiency of RNA extraction from various cheese types and of mRNA enrichment.

Microbial communities from cheeses contribute to the development of typical organoleptic properties. Metatranscriptomic analyses can be used to provide a global picture of the functioning of these communities. Our objective was to evaluate the efficiency of RNA extraction from various cheese types and to evaluate mRNA enrichment procedures for metatranscriptomic analyses.
