Comparison of the effects of probiotic strains (Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Limosilactobacillus fermentum) isolated from human and food products on the immune response of CT26 tumor-bearing mice.

This study aimed to compare the effects of the probiotic bacteria, L. gasseri (52b), L. plantarum (M11), L.

Preparing a database of corrected protein structures important in cell signaling pathways.

Background And Purpose: Precise structures of macromolecules are important for structure-based drug design. Due to the limited resolution of some structures obtained from X-ray diffraction crystallography, differentiation between the NH and O atoms can be difficult. Sometimes a number of amino acids are missing from the protein structure.

Comparison of probiotic Lactobacillus strains isolated from dairy and Iranian traditional food products with those from human source on intestinal microbiota using BALB/C mice model.

This study compares the probiotic Lactobacillus strains isolated from dairy and Iranian traditional food products with those from human sources on intestinal microbiota using BALB/C mice model. First, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (M11), Limosilactobacillus fermentum (19SH), Lactobacillus acidophilus (AC2), and Lactobacillus gasseri (52b) strains, isolated from either Iranian traditionally fermented products or human (healthy woman vaginal secretions), identified with molecular methods and selected based on the surface hydrophobicity, auto- and co-aggregation, were investigated for their probiotic properties and compared with their standard probiotic strains in vitro. The native strains and their mixtures (MIX) were then orally fed to five groups of female inbred BALB/C mice over the course of 38 days by gavage at 0.
