TL;DR: A novel antifungal peptide with 36 amino acids was identified by functional screening of a marine metagenomic library and predicted to adopt α- helical conformation with an extended coil containing a ligand binding site for N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

TL;DR: Interestingly, L. fermentum could efficiently displace the adhered MRSA, and hence this probiotic can be used for therapeutic applications also, and also significantly reduced the MRSA-induced cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: Two bsh genes encoding BSH1 and BSH2 were identified from the draft genome sequence of L. fermentum and the bsh1 gene failed to express and to produce promising BSH activity, however, bsh2 gene was overexpressed and the recombinant strain showed improved B SH activity.

TL;DR: A metagenomic library was constructed by clones expressing GFP on maltose induction into pGX-1 vector containing green fluorescent protein, which revealed the presence of 2031 bp ORF designated as amy1, which encodes for periplasmic α-amylase.

TL;DR: INSeq technology proved a successful tool to identify fitness factors in P. aeruginosa PGPR2 for root colonization and had homology to genes involved in amino acid catabolism, stress adaptation, detoxification, signal transduction, and transport.
