A new plasmid pCASE1 was isolated from Gram-positive Corynebacterium casei JCM 12072. It comprised a 2.4-kb nucleotide sequence with three ORFs, two of which were indispensable for autonomous replication in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Homology search identified these two ORFs as repA and repB, areas coding proteins involved in plasmid replication. repA sequence showed high similarity to theta-replicating Escherichia coli ColE2-P9 plasmids and even higher similarity to plasmids derived from Gram-positive bacteria belonging to a subfamily of this ColE2-P9 group. An E. coli-C. glutamicum shuttle vector was constructed with pCASE1 fragment including repA and repB to transform C. glutamicum and showed compatibility with corynebacterial plasmids from different plasmid families. The copy number of the shuttle vector in C. glutamicum was 13 and the vector showed stability for 102 generations with no selective pressure.

Optimizing fat deposition is crucial for improving chicken production and meat quality. This study investigated the interactive roles of host genetics and gut microbiome in regulating abdominal fat deposition in selectively bred broiler chicken lines. We compared the gut microbiome composition and host whole-genome profiles between fat-line and lean-line broiler chickens that had been selectively bred for divergent abdominal fat levels over 15 generations.

To evaluate the effect of NaCl content on microbiological, biochemical, physicochemical, and sensorial characteristics, Munster cheeses were prepared from pasteurized milk seeded with 3 yeasts (Kluyveromyces marxianus, Debaryomyces hansenii, and Geotrichum candidum) and 5 ripening bacteria (Arthrobacter arilaitensis, Brevibacterium aurantiacum, Corynebacterium casei, Hafnia alvei, and Staphylococcus equorum). Experiments were performed in triplicate under 1.0%, 1.

The asymmetric reduction of α, β-unsaturated compounds conjugated with electron-withdrawing group by ene-reductases (ERs) is a valuable method for the synthesis of enantiopure chiral compounds. This study introduced an ER from Corynebacterium casei (CcER) which was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and the purified recombinant CcER was characterized for its biocatalytic properties. CcER exhibited the highest specific activity at 40 °C and pH 6.

Urban microbiome plays crucial roles in human health and are related to various diseases. The MetaSUB Consortium has conducted the most comprehensive global survey of urban microbiomes to date, profiling microbial taxa/functional genes across 60 cities worldwide. However, the influence of environmental/demographic factors on urban microbiome remains to be elucidated.
