Draft genome sequence of 3G3 isolated from Philippine fermented pork.

is a well-studied fermentative bacterium reported to have potential probiotic properties. Here, we report the draft genome of 3G3 previously isolated from , a Philippine fermented pork dish. The 3G3 draft genome has 1,886,498 bp, a GC content of 42.

Safety assessment of five candidate probiotic lactobacilli using comparative genome analysis.

Micro-organisms belonging to the genus complex are often used for oral consumption and are generally considered safe but can exhibit pathogenicity in rare and specific cases. Therefore, screening and understanding genetic factors that may contribute to pathogenicity can yield valuable insights regarding probiotic safety. LM1, SK151, BS25, SK152 and PF01 are current probiotics of interest; however, their safety profiles have not been explored.

Draft genome sequence of BS25 isolated from a local fermented rice-shrimp mixture from the Philippines.

The draft genome sequence of BS25, previously isolated from a fermented rice-shrimp mixture () in the Philippines, was analyzed. The genome contains 3,264,139 bp (44.62% GC%), and a total of 3,069 predicted coding sequences, 2 rRNAs, and 52 tRNAs.

Synergistic effect of Lactobacillus gasseri and Cudrania tricuspidata on the modulation of body weight and gut microbiota structure in diet-induced obese mice.

High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity has been associated with alteration of gut microbiota alongside body weight gain. In this study, the synbiotic effect of Lactobacillus gasseri 505 (LG) and Cudrania tricuspidata (CT) in HFD-induced mice was revealed. After feeding mice with high-fat diet for 10 weeks, combination of LG and CT (LG_CT) exhibited the greatest reduction in the final body weight (11.
