The extracellular secreted protein of <i>Bifidobacterium longum</i> (<i>B. longum</i>) plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the human intestinal microenvironment. However, the mechanism(s) of interaction remain unclear. Lysozyme is a kind of antibacterial peptide. In this study, the amino acid sequence of a lysozyme-like protein of <i>B. longum</i> based on whole-genome data of an isolate from human gut feces was found. We further predicted functional domains from the amino ...[more]
