Novel antimicrobial activities of a peptide derived from a Japanese soybean fermented food, Natto, against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Bacillus subtilis group strains

AMB Express, 2017
We recently isolated a tumoricidal peptide from Natto, a Japanese traditional fermented food. In the present study, antimicrobial activity of the Natto peptide was examined. The peptide consisted of 45 amino acid residues, and its structure was predicted

Identification of Key Metabolites in Poly-γ-Glutamic Acid Production by Tuning γ-PGA Synthetase Expression

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) production is commonly achieved using glycerol, citrate, and L-glutamic acid as substrates. The constitutive expression of the γ-PGA synthetase enabled γ-PGA production with Bacillus subtilis from glucose only. The precursors

Postbiotics in Functional Foods: Microbial Derivatives Shaping Health, Immunity and Next‐Generation Nutrition

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Postbiotics are bioactive compounds derived from microbial fermentation, including short‐chain fatty acids, extracellular polysaccharides, and cell wall components. These molecules support health by regulating immune responses, enhancing gut barrier integrity, reducing inflammation, and modulating gut–brain and gut–liver communication.

A Newly Derived Protein From Bacillus subtilis natto With Both Antithrombotic and Fibrinolytic Effects

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
Natto, steamed soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis natto, is a traditional Japanese food. We derived a purified protein layer, called NKCP as a trade mark, from B. subtilis natto fermentation.

Trypanosoma brucei aquaglyceroporin 2 is a high-affinity transporter for pentamidine and melaminophenyl arsenic drugs and the main genetic determinant of resistance to these drugs. [PDF]

, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Trypanosoma brucei drug transporters include the TbAT1/P2 aminopurine transporter and the high-affinity pentamidine transporter (HAPT1), but the genetic identity of HAPT1 is unknown. We recently reported that loss of T.
