Genome sequence data and properties of strain ICIS-504 isolated from multispecies bifidobacterial community.

This report presents the data on the draft genome sequence of strain ICIS-504. The strain, isolated from the intestine of a 41-year-old healthy woman is a member of community consist of four strains of three bifidobacterial species: and . Annotation of the genome sequence revealed as high similarity with deposited strains as the unique duplication in the functional region of the only AmiR-family response regulator gene.

Environmental Determination of Indigenous Bifidobacteria of the Human Intestine.

The environmental determination of indigenous (constantly present) bifidobacteria of the human large intestine is considered in this review. Environmental determination (from the Latin , "I determine") is understood as a set of natural phenomena of a habitat (biotope) that determine the role of indigenous microorganisms in the microbiocenosis. Using the symbiotic approach, an attempt is made to identify the environmental conditions for the habitat of bifidobacteria and their physiological effects in the microsymbiocenosis.

Diagnostic cytokine marker of male infertility - interleukin 4.

Analysis of the study is to assess the diagnostic significance of cytokines in the sperm plasma of men of reproductive age (20 - 45 years) of two groups: of patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis, not complicated by infertility and with loss of fertility. The study of sperm plasma - the WHO standard. Determination of the level of cytokines in seminal plasma - by enzyme immunoassay («Cytokine», Russia).

Semen microbiota and cytokines of healthy and infertile men.

In this study, we determined the levels of cytokine secretory inhibitors and the microbiota biofilms of semen from healthy and infertile subjects. A total of 118 clinical bacterial isolates were isolated and tested. Cytokine secretory inhibitors were determined based on the difference in cytokine content between the control and experimental samples of cell-free supernatants of isolated microorganisms.

Genome Sequence Data of Lactobacillus ruminis ICIS-540, Isolated from the Intestine of a Healthy Woman.

Data on the draft genome sequence of ICIS-540 are presented in this report. This strain was isolated from the human colon as a prospective probiotic candidate. The genome size was 2,397,517 bp (G+C content, 42.
