A novel expression vector (pLR) driven by hup promoter and Bifidobacterium beta-galactosidase signal peptide was constructed. The pLR vector was used for the expression of the optimized human IL-10 synthetic gene in Escherichia coli and Bifidobacterium longum. In both microorganisms, rhIL-10 was in a soluble form in total extract cells. The recombinant hIL-10 was partially processed in E. coli, whereas in Bifidobacterium all rhIL-10 was found in the mature form.

Recently, researchers have been interested in the potential connection between gut microbiota composition and various neuropsychological disorders. Dementia significantly affects the socioeconomics of families. Gut microbiota is considered as a probable factor in its pathogenesis.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the prebiotic effects of different fractions of pectin-derived oligosaccharides (POSs) from apple pomace (AP) in relation to their molecular weight (MW), structure, and composition. Enzymatic treatment of the apple pomace resulted in high-molecular-weight arabinans and rhamnogalacturonans (MW 30-100 kDa, MW 10-30 kDa), as well as oligomeric fractions with molecular weights of less than 10 kDa, consisting mainly of homogalacturonan. The biological potential of the POSs against various lactobacilli and bifidobacteria was evaluated.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of acupuncture based on "gut-brain axis" combined with sensory integration training in children with autism spectrum disorder (autism) and its effect on gastrointestinal symptoms.
Methods: A total of 96 children with autism were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 48 cases in each group, with 3 cases dropped out. Children in the control group received sensory integration training.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of free or immobilized OLXAL-1 cells on oat flakes on the gut microbiota and metabolic and inflammatory markers in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) animal model. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were assigned into eight groups (n = 6): healthy or diabetic animals that received either a control diet (CD and DCD), an oat-supplemented diet (OD and DOD), a diet supplemented with free OLXAL-1 cells (CFC and DFC), or a diet supplemented with immobilized OLXAL-1 cells on oat flakes (CIC and DIC). Neither OLXAL-1 nor oat supplementation led to any significant positive effects on body weight, insulin levels, plasma glucose concentrations, or lipid profile parameters.

Despite the rapid advancement of glycosidase biotechnology, ginsenoside-transforming rhamnosidases remain underexplored due to a lack of research. In this study, we aimed to bridge this gap by evaluating eight putative rhamnosidases for their ability to transform ginsenosides. Among them, a novel rhamnosidase (C118) from was identified as being efficient at hydrolyzing ginsenoside Re.
