Journal ArticleDOI
Native-feather degradation by Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, a newly isolated keratinase-producing thermophilic anaerobe
Gae Won Nam,Dong Woo Lee,Han Seoung Lee,Nam Lee,Byoung-Chan Kim,Eun Ah Choe,Jae Kwan Hwang,Maggy Thenawidjaja Suhartono,Yu Ryang Pyun +8 more
TL;DR: The enzyme from F. islandicum AW-1 is a novel, thermostable keratinolytic serine protease that showed higher specific activity for the keratinous substrates than other proteases and catalyzed the cleavage of peptide bonds more rapidly following the reduction of disulfide bridges in feather keratin by 10 mM dithiothreitol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning, expression and characterization of l-arabinose isomerase from Thermotoga neapolitana: bioconversion of d-galactose to d-tagatose using the enzyme
TL;DR: Gene araA encoding an L-arabinose isomerase (AraA) from the hyperthermophile, Thermotoga neapolitana 5068 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli, where a 68% conversion of D-galactose to D-tagatose was obtained using the recombinant enzyme at the isomerization temperature of 80 degrees C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and characterization of two distinct thermostable lipases from the gram-positive thermophilic bacterium Bacillus thermoleovorans ID-1
Dong Woo Lee,Hack Woo Kim,Keun Wook Lee,Byoung-Chan Kim,Eun Ah Choe,Han-Seung Lee,Doo Sik Kim,Yu Ryang Pyun +7 more
TL;DR: Two distinct thermostable lipases were purified to homogeneity and their maximal activities were found with tricaprylin (C8) as a substrate, although both of the enzymes showed different substrate specificities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidation of Akkermansia muciniphila Probiotic Traits Driven by Mucin Depletion.
Jongoh Shin,Jung-Ran Noh,Dong-Ho Chang,Yong-Hoon Kim,Myung Hee Kim,Eaum Seok Lee,Suhyung Cho,Bon Jeong Ku,Moon-Soo Rhee,Byoung-Chan Kim,Chul-Ho Lee,Byung-Kwan Cho +11 more
TL;DR: Min content in the growth medium plays a critical role in the improvement by A. muciniphila of high-fat diet-induced obesity, intestinal inflammation, and compromised intestinal barrier integrity related to a decrease in goblet cell density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dysbiosis-induced IL-33 contributes to impaired antiviral immunity in the genital mucosa
Ji Eun Oh,Byoung-Chan Kim,Dong-Ho Chang,Meehyang Kwon,Sunyoung Lee,Dukjin Kang,Jin Young Kim,Inhwa Hwang,Je-Wook Yu,Susumu Nakae,Heung Kyu Lee +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dysbiosis within the vaginal microbiota results in severe impairment of antiviral protection against herpes simplex virus type 2 infection, and the findings suggest a previously unstudied role of commensal bacteria in the effector phase of the antiviral immune response against genital herpes.
