Molecular and functional analyzes of lectins in Lactobacillus. KU Leuven
Lectins, known as carbohydrate-binding proteins, are considered as important signal molecules, which regulate physiological processes and multicellular communities. Lactobacillus species are important beneficial microorganisms that are ubiquitously present on plants, in milk and on mucosal surfaces of animal and human host. Lectins molecules on the cell surface of the Lactobacillus strains that can directly interact with the pathogens or host ...
Molecular and functional analysis of lectins in Lactobacillus. University of Antwerp
Lactobacillus exopolysaccharides as antipathogenic and immunomodulatory adjuvantia University of Antwerp
Molecular analysis of the interaction between the probioticum Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and intestinal epithelial cells KU Leuven
Probiotics are defined as “live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host”. Growing numbers of intervention trials show that certain bacterial strains ormixtures of strains, generally lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, can confer specific health benefits. Many of the interactions between probioticbacteria and the host are thought to be mediated by molecular structures, known as ...
Enhancing the probiotic beneficial potential of the genus Lactobacillus. University of Antwerp
Effects of different strains of Lactobacillus plantarum on growth performance, immunity and tight junction in gnotobiotically grown Artemia Ghent University
To study the mechanism of action of different strains of Lactobacillus plantarum by their effects on growth performance, immune gene expression and tight junction in a gnotobiotic Artemia model system in presence and absence of Vibrio harveyi challenge.
