Finding and characterizing new bacterial strains, including probiotic strains, is a crucial task in today's world to expand the genetic data pool and identify new genes. In this study, we investigated the gut microbiota of one industrial species, , and identified representatives of various microbial genera, including , , , , and . Notably, we discovered two strains of with potentially probiotic properties. We conducted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of these strains, described their antibiotic resistance and antibacterial activity, and compared them with other representatives of the genus. These strains, characterized by rapid growth, the presence of the heat shock protein gene, and genes associated with microplastic degradation, provide a promising basis for further research, including studies on their potential application in plastic biodegradation.

The oral administration of probiotics is a promising strategy to regulate the host-intestinal flora balance and improve health. Nevertheless, adverse gastrointestinal (GI) conditions affect the activity of free native probiotics. In this study, a novel probiotic encapsulation system based on milk exosomes (mExos) and DSPE-PEG-PBA was developed.

Background: Microencapsulation improves the storage, handling, and administration of probiotics by protecting them from environmental factors and adverse conditions in the gastrointestinal tract. This process facilitates their controlled delivery in the body, which can simplify their use in therapies without compromising their therapeutic efficacy.

Objectives: This study investigates the microencapsulation of LM-20, its probiotic properties, and its effects in a murine model of ulcerative colitis.

The present study investigated the dynamics changes in physicochemical properties and non-volatile metabolites during Bulang pickled tea fermentation. A combination of artificial sensory evaluation, chemical-physical analysis, ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS), and multivariate statistical analysis were employed to examine the differences among four fermentation stages of Bulang pickled tea. The bitterness, astringency, sweetness after taste, sourness and fermentation taste tended to increase with fermentation.

High rehydration beverage consumption represents a significant opportunity for the integration of biotic products that offer the potential to improve body composition and intestinal health. (IQS) infusions contain polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and in combination with probiotic strains and prebiotic materials, they offer a promising alternative for generating designer beverages for physically active people. These beverages were formulated using a combination of IQS, agave fructooligosaccharides (FOS), microencapsulated probiotics of and , electrolytes, and glucose.

Chronic diseases are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality. More than 70% of deaths worldwide are caused by chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. These diseases are characterised by chronic low-grade inflammation and metabolic dysregulation.
