AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers sequenced the genome of the BB11 strain, which comes from the rumen of a Holstein bull calf.
  • This strain exhibited positive probiotic traits, including its ability to tolerate bile salts, adhere to surfaces, and withstand acidic environments.
  • The genome was found to be 2,200,000 base pairs long and had a guanine and cytosine (G+C) content of 62.5%.

Article Abstract

Here we report the genome sequence of BB11 strain, isolated from the Holstein bull calf's rumen samples. The strain tested positive for probiotic characteristics such as bile salt tolerance, adhesion, and acid tolerance. The genome size was 2,200,000 bp with the guanine and cytosine (G+C) content of 62.5%.

Poly I:C rat offspring are used to investigate the effects of exposure to maternal immune activation (MIA) and have been suggested as a model of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). The behavioural symptoms of this model are diverse and can vary with external factors, including the choice of background strain and husbandry practices. Measuring whisker movements provides quantitative, robust measurements of sensory, motor and cognitive behaviours in rodents.

In food processing, the temperature is usually reduced to limit bacterial reproduction and maintain food safety. However, can adapt to low temperatures by controlling gene expression and protein activity, although its survival strategies normally vary between different strains. The present study investigated the molecular mechanisms of with different survival strategies in response to low temperatures (4 °C).

Bee Bread Exhibits Higher Antimicrobial Potential Compared to Bee Pollen.

Antibiotics (Basel)

January 2021

Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biochemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Gdańsk University of Technology, ul. G. Narutowicza 11/12, 80-233 Gdańsk, Poland.

This study aimed at investigation of the antimicrobial potential of ethanolic extracts of bee bread (BB) and bee pollen (BP) and suspensions of these products in MHB (Mueller Hinton Broth). We covered 30 samples of BP and 19 samples of BB harvested in Polish apiaries. Slightly lower activity was observed against Gram-negative bacteria compared to Gram-positive staphylococci.

Bioflocculation behaviours of microbial communities in water treatment.

Water Sci Technol

April 2014

State Key Laboratory of Urban Water Resource and Environment, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150090, China E-mail:

We studied the flocculation behaviours of microbial communities in 21 soil, wastewater and activated sludge samples to clarify the effects of culture medium types on flocculation ability and screening efficiency, and to analyze diverse functions and microbial compositions. The bioflocculants produced by 33% of the microbial communities had flocculating efficiencies higher than 90%. Six out of the eight microbial communities with efficiencies over 94% were screened from the culture medium using dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as the carbon source.
