The Production of Acetylcholine by a Strain of Lactobacillus plantarum [PDF]
SUMMARY: A strain of Lactobacillus plantarum has been isolated from Sauerkraut which can produce acetylcholine during growth and in washed suspensions. The conditions necessary for the production of acetylcholine are: (i) the presence of choline and (ii) the simultaneous fermentation of carbohydrate.

Lifestyle of Lactobacillus plantarum in the mouse caecum [PDF]
Summary Lactobacillus plantarum is a common inhabitant of mammalian gastrointestinal tracts. Strains of L. plantarum are also marketed as probiotics intended to confer beneficial health effects upon delivery to the human gut. To understand how L. plantarum adapts to its gut habitat, we used whole genome transcriptional profiling to characterize the ...

When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...
