Whole genome sequences of KCKM 0851 isolated from green onion kimchi.

KCKM 0851 isolated from green onion kimchi is a probiotic candidate and can be used as a starter culture for kimchi and dairy products. The whole-genome data of this strain will help us understand its genetics and metabolic characteristics.

Draft genome sequence of KCKM 0106, isolated from mustard leaf kimchi.

KCKM 0106, isolated from mustard leaf kimchi, demonstrates probiotic properties, such as acid tolerance and adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells. We present the draft genome sequence of KCKM 0106, comprising 3,328,662 bp and 44.4% GC content.

Sustainable Production of Shinorine from Lignocellulosic Biomass by Metabolically Engineered .

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) have been used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The purpose of this work was to develop yeast strains for sustainable and economical production of MAAs, especially shinorine. First, genes involved in MAA biosynthetic pathway from were introduced into for heterologous shinorine production.

Anti-inflammatory and anti-pathogenic potential of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 isolated from feces of breast-fed infants.

Objective: We investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-pathogenic activities of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 isolated from the feces of breast-fed infants.

Methods: Cell viability, nitric oxide (NO) production, and expression of inflammatory markers by L. rhamnosus IDCC 3201 were quantitatively analyzed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.

Safety evaluation of IDCC 2301 isolated from homemade cheese.

For applications of microorganisms as probiotics in the food industry, safety evaluation has increasingly become important to ensure the health of consumers. Although people have been using various lactic acid bacteria for different purposes, some studies have reported that certain lactic acid bacteria exhibit properties of virulence and produce toxic compounds. Thus, it is necessary to examine the characteristics associated with lactic acid bacteria that are safe for use as probiotics.

Expression of keratin 10 in rat organ surface primo-vascular tissues.

The primo-vascular system is described as the anatomical structure corresponding to acupuncture meridians and has been identified in several tissues in the body, but its detailed anatomy and physiology are not well understood. Recently, the presence of keratin 10 (Krt10) in primo-vascular tissue was reported, but this finding has not yet been confirmed. In this study, we compared Krt10 expression in primo-vascular tissues located on the surface of rat abdominal organs with Krt10 expression on blood and lymphatic vessels.
