Enhancing the antibacterial ability of Ligilactobacillus salivarius through ARTP mutagenesis breeding: an effective strategy to improve its probiotic properties by Hetian Zhou, Hetian Zhou, Hetian Zhou, Yunping Du, Guolian Yu, Wei Liu, Juanjuan Zeng, Bin Wang, Bin Wang, Maojin Chen, Yujue Wang, Wenbo Zhang, Xiaona Wei, Xiaona Wei

“…Following ARTP mutagenesis and positively screened for its antibacterial ability, the mutant strain 30s-37 was obtained. By comparing the effects of the parental (D428) and mutant (30s-37) strains on broiler growth performance and intestinal microbiota, their probiotic properties performance was evaluated.ResultsThe results indicated that the use of L. salivarius strains improved the growth performance and increased the richness and diversity of cecal probiotic microbial communities, with the mutagenized strain 30s-37 exhibiting more pronounced effects.DiscussionThese findings underscore mutagenesis breeding as an effective strategy for probiotic strain optimization, justifying its expanded application in future strain development programs.…”

Biochemical and functional properties of vesicles from planktonic and biofilm phenotypes of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 by Beatrice Marinacci, Chiara D’Ambrosio, Irene Vitale, Antonella Di Sotto, Francesco Cairone, Mattia Spano, Simone Carradori, Andrea Scaloni, Marco Gullì, Valentina Puca, Santolo Francati, Monica Matuozzo, Ludwig Ermann Lundberg, Gianfranco Grompone, Stefan Roos, Rossella Grande

“…Proteomic analysis of pMVs and bMVs described equivalent protein cargos, emphasizing quantitative compositional differences that presumably reflect the physiological state of each parent bacterial phenotype. Through the assignment of molecules possibly acting as mediators of immune/inflammatory responses in the host and/or modulating known beneficial effects of L. reuteri, important signaling functions of these vesicles were suggested. …”
