Aims: The organization of ribosomal RNA (rrn) operons in Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis was studied in order to establish an easy-to-perform method for identification of L. sanfranciscensis strains, based on the length and sequence polymorphism of the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region (ISR).
Methods And Results: PCR amplification of the 16S-23S rDNA ISRs of L. sanfranciscensis gave three products distinguishing this micro-organism from the remaining Lactobacillus species. Sequence analysis revealed that two of the rrn operons were organized as in previously reported lactobacilli: large spacer (L-ISR), containing tRNA(Ile) and tRNA(Ala) genes; small spacer (S-ISR) without tRNA genes. The third described spacer (medium, M-ISR), original for L. sanfranciscensis, harboured a tRNA-like structure. An oligonucleotide sequence targeting the variable region between tDNA(Ile) and tDNA(Ala) of L. sanfranciscensis L-ISR was approved to be suitable in species-specific identification procedure. Analysis by pulse-field gel electrophoresis of the chromosomal digest with the enzyme I-CeuI showed the presence of seven rrn clusters. Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis genome size was estimated at c. 1.3 Mb.
Conclusions: Direct amplification of 16S-23S ISRs or PCR with specific primer derived from L-ISR showed to be useful for specific typing of L. sanfranciscensis. This was due to the specific rrn operon organization of L. sanfranciscensis strains.
Significance And Impact Of The Study: In this paper, we have reported a rapid procedure for L. sanfranciscensis identification based on specific structures found in its rrn operon.

Starch-converting α-glucanotransferases are efficient enzymatic toolkits for the biosynthesis of diverse α-glucans, which hold vast application potential in the food industry. In this work, we identified a novel GtfB protein from Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis TMW11304 (FsTMW11304 GtfB) in NCBI. Although this enzyme was highly conserved in motifs I-IV with those isomalto-maltopolysaccharides (IMMPs)-producing GtfB α-glucanotransferases, it possessed distinct deletions and mutations in two crucial loops shaping the active site.

Continuous propagation of Chinese traditional sourdough (CTS) was adopted to simulate the industrial production of sourdough steamed bread made by retarded sponge-dough method (SSB). Establishment of a stable microbial ecosystem occurred in mature sourdough within four days of continuous propagation, as revealed by both microbial and metabolic analyses. Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis and Kazachstania humilis were the predominant bacterial and fungal species in mature sourdoughs.

Background And Aims: Dietary habits, food, and nutrition-associated oral dysbiosis lead to the formation of microbial biofilm, which affects the overall health of an individual by promoting systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease, immunological disorders, and diabetes. Today's diets contain a variety of fermentable carbohydrates, including highly processed starch and novel synthetic carbohydrates such as oligofructose, sucralose, and glucose polymers. These constitute risk factors in the initiation and progression of oral dysbiosis.

Ants are evolutionarily successful species and occupy diverse trophic and habitat niches on the earth. To fulfill dietary requirements, ants have established commensalism with both sap-feeding insects and bacteria. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene to characterize the bacterial composition and structure of the digestive tracts in three species of ants and (Linnaeus)-species that predominantly feed on honeydew secreted by aphids.
