Role of gut microbiota in the aetiology of obesity: proposed mechanisms and review of the literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The aetiology of obesity has been attributed to several factors (environmental, dietary, lifestyle, host, and genetic factors); however none of these fully explain the increase in the prevalence of obesity worldwide.

Pharmacological potential of seaweed-associated heterotrophic Firmicutes

open access: yesLetters in Applied Microbiology, 2022
Abstract Seaweed-associated bacterial symbionts are sources of potential pharmacological properties. The present study resulted in the culture-dependent isolation of bioactive heterotrophs belonging to the bacterial phylum Firmicutes, which were dominated more than 30% of the 127 cultivable isolates, amongst which 23 of them showed ...

The Role of Bacillithiol in Gram-Positive Firmicutes [PDF]

open access: yesAntioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2018
Since the discovery and structural characterization of bacillithiol (BSH), the biochemical functions of BSH-biosynthesis enzymes (BshA/B/C) and BSH-dependent detoxification enzymes (FosB, Bst, GlxA/B) have been explored in Bacillus and Staphylococcus species.

Recent progress in our understanding of peptidoglycan assembly in Firmicutes [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2021
Years of intense research have shown that the assembly of peptidoglycan, the extracellular mesh-like polymer surrounding the bacterial cell, is incredibly complex. It requires a suite of reactions catalyzed by dynamic macromolecular protein complexes whose localization and activity should be finely regulated in space and time.

Safety and efficacy of using heat-killed Lactobacillus plantarum L-137: High-dose and long-term use effects on immune-related safety and intestinal bacterial flora

open access: yesJournal of Immunotoxicology, 2021
Heat-killed Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 (HK L-137) promotes immune function in animals. In healthy people, T-cell proliferation was shown to be enhanced by taking 10 mg HK L-137 daily for 12 weeks.

Levels and Characteristics of mRNAs in Spores of Firmicute Species

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2021
Only ∼6% of mRNAs in spores of six firmicute species are at ≥1 molecule/spore, many abundant spore mRNAs encode proteins similar to B. subtilis spore proteins, and some abundant B. subtilis and C. difficile spore mRNAs were fragmented.

Comparative genome-centric analysis reveals seasonal variation in the function of coral reef microbiomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Microbially mediated processes contribute to coral reef resilience yet, despite extensive characterisation of microbial community variation following environmental perturbation, the effect on microbiome function is poorly understood.
