Adlercreutzia equolifaciens DSM19450T is a human intestinal bacterium —for which the whole genome sequence is publicly available— that produces equol from the daidzein isoflavone. In the present work, daidzein (between 50 to 200 μM) was completely metabolized by cultures of A. equolifaciens DSM19450T after 10 h of incubation. However, only about one third of the added isoflavone was transformed into dihydrodaidzein and then into equol. Transcriptional analysis of the ORFs and intergenic regions of the bacterium’s equol gene cluster was therefore undertaken using RT-PCR and RT-qPCR techniques with the aim of identifying the genetic elements of equol biosynthesis and its regulation mechanisms. Compared to controls cultured without daidzein, the expression of all 13 contiguous genes in the equol cluster was enhanced in the presence of the isoflavone.

Although equol is produced by intestinal bacteria, the association between the status of equol production and the gut microbiota has not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the intestinal bacteria responsible for equol production in gut microbiota between equol producer and non-producer subjects regarding the intake of daidzein. A total of 1044 adult subjects who participated in a health survey in Hirosaki city were examined. The concentration of equol in urine was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography.

  • Bacterial Diversity and Functional Analysis of Severe Early Childhood
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Bacterial diversity and functional analysis of severe early childhood caries and recurrence in India Balakrishnan Kalpana1,3, Puniethaa Prabhu3, Ashaq Hussain Bhat3, Arunsaikiran Senthilkumar3, Raj Pranap Arun1, Sharath Asokan4, Sachin S. Gunthe2 & Rama S. Verma1,5* Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease afecting nearly 70% of children in India and elsewhere. Micro-ecological niche based acidifcation due to dysbiosis in oral microbiome are crucial for caries onset and progression. Here we report the tooth bacteriome diversity compared in Indian children with caries free (CF), severe early childhood caries (SC) and recurrent caries (RC). High quality V3–V4 amplicon sequencing revealed that SC exhibited high bacterial diversity with unique combination and interrelationship. Gracillibacteria_GN02 and TM7 were unique in CF and SC respectively, while Bacteroidetes, Fusobacteria were signifcantly high in RC. Interestingly, we found Streptococcus oralis subsp. tigurinus clade 071 in all groups with signifcant abundance in SC and RC. Positive correlation between low and high abundant bacteria as well as with TCS, PTS and ABC transporters were seen from co-occurrence network analysis. This could lead to persistence of SC niche resulting in RC. Comparative in vitro assessment of bioflm formation showed that the standard culture of S. oralis and its phylogenetically similar clinical isolates showed profound bioflm formation and augmented the growth and enhanced bioflm formation in S. mutans in both dual and multispecies cultures. Interaction among more than 700 species of microbiota under diferent micro-ecological niches of the human oral cavity1,2 acts as a primary defense against various pathogens. Tis has been observed to play a signifcant role in child’s oral and general health.

Thus, divergent genomic GC content has evolved repeatedly in widely separated bacterial taxa. Since genomic GC content influences codon usage, we examined codon usage patterns and predicted protein amino acid content as a function of genomic GC content within eight different phyla or classes of bacteria.

    BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENTS IN ULCERATIVE COLITIS: MOLECULAR AND MICROBIOLOGICAL STUDIES Samia Alkhalil A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth Institute of Biomedical and biomolecular Sciences School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences October 2017 AUTHORS’ DECLARATION I declare that whilst registered as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at University of Portsmouth, I have not been registered as a candidate for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Samia Alkhalil I ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a series of disorders characterised by chronic intestinal inflammation, with the principal examples being Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). A paradigm of these disorders is that the composition of the colon microbiota changes, with increases in bacterial numbers and a reduction in diversity, particularly within the Firmicutes. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are believed to be involved in the etiology of these disorders, because they produce hydrogen sulfide which may be a causative agent of epithelial inflammation, although little supportive evidence exists for this possibility. The purpose of this study was (1) to detect and compare the relative levels of gut bacterial populations among patients suffering from ulcerative colitis and healthy individuals using PCR-DGGE, sequence analysis and biochip technology; (2) develop a rapid detection method for SRBs and (3) determine the susceptibility of Desulfovibrio indonesiensis in biofilms to Manuka honey with and without antibiotic treatment.
