Immunochemistry of the cell surfaces of Bacteroides bivius and Bacteroides disiens [PDF]
Outer membranes were extracted from seven strains of Bacteroides bivius and six strains of B. disiens by the Sarkosyl method. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were extracted from the same strains by the Proteinase K method, and from three strains of each species by an aqueous phenol method. Analysis of the outer-membrane proteins by SDS-PAGE demonstrated that,

Micromanagement in the gut : microenvironmental factors govern colon mucosal biofilm structure and functionality [PDF]
The human gut microbiome provides us with functional features that we did not have to evolve ourselves and can be viewed as a structured microbial community that operates like a microbial organ within the human host.

Effects of estradiol and progesterone on Bacteroides melaninogenicus and Bacteroides gingivalis [PDF]
Bacteroides melaninogenicus subsp. intermedius increases in the subgingival microflora during pregnancy. These studies evaluated direct interactions between hormonal steroids and oral Bacteroides species. Resting cell suspensions of pure cultures of plaque organisms were incubated anaerobically with [14C]estradiol and [14C]progesterone.

Maternal fucosyltransferase 2 status affects the gut bifidobacterial communities of breastfed infants. [PDF]
BackgroundIndividuals with inactive alleles of the fucosyltransferase 2 gene (FUT2; termed the 'secretor' gene) are common in many populations. Some members of the genus Bifidobacterium, common infant gut commensals, are known to consume 2'-fucosylated ...

Prebiotic effects of wheat Arabinoxylan related to the increase in Bifidobacteria, Roseburia and bacteroides/Prevotella in diet-induced obese mice [PDF]
Background: Alterations in the composition of gut microbiota - known as dysbiosis - has been proposed to contribute to the development of obesity, thereby supporting the potential interest of nutrients targeting the gut with beneficial effect for host ...

Superoxide dismutase in Bacteroides fragilis and related Bacteroides species [PDF]
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was demonstrated in cell-free extracts of Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides ovatus, and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The strains were grown under anaerobic conditions in Trypticase soy broth, and the specific activity of SOD in the extracts was, in most strains, higher ...

Emerging trends in 'smart probiotics' : functional consideration for the development of novel health and industrial applications [PDF]
The link between gut microbiota and human health is well-recognized and described. This ultimate impact on the host has contributed to explain the mutual dependence between humans and their gut bacteria.

Analysis of gut microbiota in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Disease-related dysbiosis and modifications induced by etanercept [PDF]
A certain number of studies were carried out to address the question of how dysbiosis could affect the onset and development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but little is known about the reciprocal influence between microbiota composition and ...
