Ribosome-Engineered Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Strain GG Exhibits Cell Surface Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Accumulation and Enhanced Adhesion to Human Colonic Mucin.

ABSTRACT: Differences in individual host responses have emerged as an issue regarding the health benefits of probiotics. Here, we applied ribosome engineering (RE) technology, developed in an actinomycete study, to Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). RE can effectively enhance microbial potential by using antibiotics to induce spontaneous mutations in the ribosome and/or RNA polymerase. In this study, we identified eight types of streptomycin resistance mutations in the LGG rpsL gene, which encodes ribosomal protein S12. Notably, LGG harboring the K56N mutant (LGG-MTK56N) expressed high levels of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) on the cell surface compared with the LGG wild type (LGG-WT). GAPDH plays a key role in colonic mucin adhesion. Indeed, LGG-MTK56N significantly increased
