Objectives: To explore the capacity of mutant lactobacilli to remove creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (UN) via the gastrointestinal tract and its effects on renal pathology in the 5/6 nephrectomized rat model of chronic renal failure.
Methods: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a Sham group, a Model group, a wide-type Lactobacilli group (L.B group), and a Mutant Lactobacilli group (Mut-L.B group). The rats in the Model, LB and Mut-L.B groups underwent 5/6 nephrectomy. Eight weeks after administration, 24-h urine, orbital blood and digestive secretions were collected to analyze Cr and UN levels. Pathological changes in nephridial tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome staining, and the expression of TGF-β1 and FN was detected by immunohistochemistry.
Results: There were no significant differences in urinary Cr and UN levels among the Sham, L.B and Mut-L.B groups (p > .05), while serum and digestive Cr and UN levels were significantly decreased in the Mut-L.B group (p < .01). Furthermore, renal tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis were significantly reduced and TGF-β1 and FN expression was decreased (p < .05) in the Mut-L.B group.
Conclusion: Mutant lactobacilli decreased serum Cr and UN levels, reduced the expression of TGF-β1 and FN in renal tissues and alleviated renal interstitial injury and fibrosis in a rat model of chronic renal failure in a mechanism that may involve decomposition and not just excretion of small molecule toxins in the gastrointestinal tract.

The observed increase in the production of enzyme preparations (EP) using mutant and genetically modified microorganisms makes it necessary to assess their risks to consumer health. However, at present, their possible influence on the microbiome, immune status of the macroorganism has not been sufficiently studied. of the research was to assess the effect of two EP - the complex of hydrolases with proteolytic and nuclease activity from the Aspergillus oryzae RCAM 01134 mutant strain (EP1) and the neutral protease - bacillolysin and serine protease from the Bacillus subtilis-96 (VKM B-3499D) mutant strain (FP2) on the intestine microbiome and cellular immunity indices of the experimental animals.

Background: The gut microbiota can facilitate host growth under nutrient-constrained conditions. However, whether this effect is limited to certain bacterial species remains largely unclear, and the relevant underlying mechanisms remain to be thoroughly investigated.
Results: We found that the microbiota was required for Bactrocera dorsalis larval growth under poor dietary conditions.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated Algerian dairy lactic acid bacteria strains VR81 and LVT1 from camel milk to discover their potential for producing a plant-based yogurt using quinoa as a base.
- The selected strains showed promising probiotic properties, including resilience to harsh conditions and a strong ability to inhibit harmful bacteria, attributed to bioactive peptides.
- The fermentation process using these strains effectively acidified quinoa, resulting in a high-quality fermented product enriched in beneficial metabolites like exopolysaccharides and riboflavin.
The Mucus-Binding Factor Mediates CRL1505 Adhesion but Not Immunomodulation in the Respiratory Tract.

CRL1505 possesses immunomodulatory activities in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts when administered orally. Its adhesion to the intestinal mucosa does not condition its beneficial effects. The intranasal administration of CRL1505 is more effective than the oral route at modulating immunity in the respiratory tract.

The use of probiotic lactobacilli has been proposed as a strategy to mitigate damage associated with exposure to toxic metals. Their protective effect against cationic metal ions, such as those of mercury or lead, is believed to stem from their chelating and accumulating potential. However, their retention of anionic toxic metalloids, such as inorganic arsenic, is generally low.
