Lactobacillus Genome Editing

Lactobacillus

Lactobacillus is a type of sporeless, gram-positive bacteria whose main product of fermented sugar is lactic acid. It is a kind of probiotics that can ferment carbohydrates into lactic acid, hence the name, Lactobacillus. Lactobacillus is widely distributed in meat, milk, vegetables and other food and its products. In addition, it is also widely present in the intestines of livestock and poultry and a few clinical samples. Among them, Lactobacillus in the oral and intestinal environments of humans and other mammals are important members of the normal microbial flora in a specific area.

A large number of research data show that Lactobacillus can promote the growth of the animal, regulate the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract, maintain the microecological balance, thereby improving gastrointestinal function, increasing food digestibility as well as biological potency, reducing serum cholesterol, controlling endotoxin, inhibiting the growth of spoilage bacteria in the intestines, and improving the body's immunity.

Application of Lactobacillus Genome Editing

Lactobacillus plays an irreplaceable role in promoting human health. Applications of Lactobacillus gene editing include editing native genes to alter the immune regulatory properties of probiotics, and acting as antimicrobial production factories to alter the microbiota, and developing new antimicrobial agents for the production of a variety of proteins and metabolites. Besides, the genome editing technology can enhance the native antibacterial activity and increase the yield of antibacterial agents.
