Pan-Genome Analyses of the Genus and Proposal of the Novel Species sp. nov., Isolated from Forest Soil.

Two strains, designated NL03-T5 and NL03-T5-1, were isolated from a soil sample collected from the Nanling National Forests, Guangdong Province, PR China. The two strains were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and had lophotrichous flagellation. Strain NL03-T5 could secrete extracellular mucus whereas NL03-T5-1 could not.

Construction of model animals to explore intestinal microbiome for detection of breast cancer.

Breast cancer ranks first among female cancers and has become a major public health problem in the current society. More studies indicated that these cancers are related to the change in the gut microbiome that can cause metabolic and immune system disorders in the body. However, there are few studies on the changes in gut microbiome caused by the onset of breast cancer, and the relationship between breast cancer and gut microbiome needs to be further clarified.

The Effect of Cyclosporin A on and the Possible Mechanisms Involved.

is one of the major pathogenic fungi causing postharvest grape decay. The development of antifungal agents is beneficial to reduce the loss of grapes during storage. The aim of this study was to investigate the antifungal mechanism of cyclosporin A (CsA).

[Study on the allergens of shrimps and crabs].

Aim: To investigate the allergen composition in the species of shrimp and crab.

Methods: The main allergens of shrimps and crabs were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay.

Results: The molecule weight of main allergic protein in shrimps was near to 36 000, and the main allergic proteins in different kinds of crabs were about 29 000, 36 000, 66 000, 89 000 molecule weight.
