ADHERENCE OF LACTOBACILLUS SALIVARIUS TO HELA CELLS PROMOTES CHANGES IN THE EXPRESSION OF THE GENES INVOLVED IN BIOSYNTHESIS OF THEIR LIGANDS

Adherence of Lactobacillus salivarius to HeLa Cells Promotes Changes in the Expression of the Genes Involved in Biosynthesis of Their Ligands

The attachment of a variety of Lactobacilli to the mucosal surfaces is accomplished through the interaction of OppA, a superficial bacterial COCK RINGS protein also involved in oligopeptide internalization, and the glycosaminoglycan moiety of the proteoglycans that form the epithelial cell glycocalyx.Upon the interaction of the vaginal isolate Lact

Effect of Sea Salt and Taro Waste on Fungal Mortierella alpina Cultivation for Arachidonic Acid-Rich Lipid Production

Arachidonic acid (ARA), an important polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), acts as a precursor for eicosanoid hormones, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and other biological substances in human and animal bodies.Mortierella alpina is considered to be a potential strain for ARA production.Using agricultural waste as a substrate for microbial fermen
