Analysis of the Probiotic Potential of LB1_P46 Isolated from the Mexican Fermented Pulque Beverage: A Functional and Genomic Analysis.

The traditional Mexican fermented beverage pulque has been considered a healthy product for treating gastrointestinal disorders. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been identified as one of the most abundant microbial groups during pulque fermentation. As traditional pulque is consumed directly from the fermentation vessel, the naturally associated LABs are ingested, reaching the consumer's small intestine alive, suggesting their potential probiotic capability.

Isolation and Characterization of Thermophilic Bacteria from a Hot Spring in the State of Hidalgo, Mexico, and Geochemical Analysis of the Thermal Water.

Hot springs worldwide can be a source of extremophilic microorganisms of biotechnological interest. In this study, samplings of a hot spring in Hidalgo, Mexico, were conducted to isolate, identify, and characterize morphologically, biochemically, and molecularly those bacterial strains with potential industrial applications. In addition, a physicochemical and geochemical examination of the hot spring was conducted to fully understand the study region and its potential connection to the strains discovered.

The complete genome of two isolates from the traditional Mexican fermented pulque beverage assembled with a combination of PacBio and Illumina platforms.

We report the sequence of the complete genome and associated plasmids of two isolates from the traditional Mexican pulque beverage assembled with a combination of PacBio and Illumina data. The resulting complete genome for strain LB1_P46 is 3,287,706 bp; for strain LB2_P47, the complete genome is 3,289,072 bp.

Bacterial Diversity and Population Dynamics During the Fermentation of Palm Wine From Guerrero Mexico.

Palm wine is obtained by fermentation of palm tree sap. In the Pacific coast of Mexico, palm wine is called Tuba and it is consumed as a traditional fermented beverage. Tuba has empirical applications such as an auxiliary in gastrointestinal diseases and a good source of nutrients.
