Project description:Background: milk is considered an important source of bioactive peptides, which can be produced by endogenous or starter bacteria, such as lactic acid bacteria, that are considered effective and safe producers of food-grade bioactive peptides. Among the various types of milk, donkey milk has been gaining more and more attention for its nutraceutical properties. Methods: Lactobacillus rhamnosus 17D10 and Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris 40FEL3 were selected for their ability to produce peptides from donkey milk. The endogenous peptides and those obtained after bacterial fermentation were assayed for their antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral activities. The peptide mixtures were characterized by means of LC-MS/MS, and then analyzed in silico using the Milk Bioactive Peptide DataBase. Results: the peptides produced by the two selected bacteria enhanced the antioxidant activity and reduced E. coli growth. Only the peptides produced by L. rhamnosus 17D10 were able to reduce S. aureus growth. All the peptide mixtures were able to inhibit the replication of HSV-1 by more than 50%. Seventeen peptides were found to have 60% sequence similarity with already known bioactive peptides. Conclusion: a lactic acid bacterium fermentation process is able to enhance the value of donkey milk through bioactivities that are important for human health.

Project description:Introduction: Fermented milk products are part of the staple diet for many Mediterranean populations. Most of these traditional foods are enriched with lactobacilli and other lactic acid bacteria and metabolites resulting from lactose fermentation. There is currently very little scientific knowledge on the influence of diet supplementation with fermented milk on the gut microbiota metabolism and composition. Methods: We integrated 16S rRNA gene-based taxonomic profiling with metaproteomic-based functional analysis to investigate the gut microbiota modifications in rats exposed for 8 weeks to diet supplementation with casu axedu, a traditional fermented milk produced within rural communities in Sardinia (Italy). Results and Discussion: Several taxa showed a significantly increased abundance at the end of the dietary treatment, including Phascolarctobacterium, Prevotella, Blautia glucerasea, and Akkermansia muciniphila, while Bifidobacterium, Lachnoclostridium, Odoribacter, Bacteroides dorei and Dubosiella newyorkensis were decreased compared to the control rats. Metaproteomic analysis highlighted a striking reshape of the Prevotella proteome profile in agreement with its blooming in casu axedu-fed animals, suggesting an increase of the glycolytic activity through the Embden Meyerhof Parnas Pathway over the Entner Doudoroff Pathway. Moreover, an increased production of succinate was observed, which in turn significantly boosted the abundance of Phascolartcobacterium and its production of propionate. Fermented milk consumption was also associated with promotion of microbial synthesis of branched chain essential amino acids L-valine and L-leucine. Finally, metaproteomic data indicated a reduction of bacterial virulence factors and host inflammatory markers, suggesting that the consumption of casu axedu can have beneficial effects on the gut mucosa health.

Project description:Here we report the massively parallel cDNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis performed using high throughput sequencing of four vineyard yeast strains collected from the vineyards of the M-bM-^@M-^\Prosecco di Conegliano-ValdobbiadeneM-bM-^@M-^] (P283 and P301 strains) and Piave AO (Appellation of origin) (R008 and R103 strains) regions in North East of Italy. Results were compared with RNA-seq performed on a commercial yeast strain (EC1118) and a laboratory strain (S288c). Yeast cells were collected at two different steps of the fermentation curve: at the beginning of the process, when the CO2 produced by the cells was 6 g/l (middle exponential growth phase), and in the middle of fermentation, at 45 g/l (early stationary phase). Three biological replicates of the fermentations were performed for each strain and samples for RNA-seq were gathered at the beginning of the process. The aim of this experiment was the comparison of the transcriptomes of the six yeast strains to identify the genes characterizing wild type yeast isolates, "commercial" and laboratory strains. Twelve samples were analyzed: S288c strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), S288c strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), EC1118 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), EC1118 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), P283 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), P283 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), R008 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), R008 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), R103 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), R103 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), P301 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), P301 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced).

Project description:High throughput sequencing of miRNAs collected from tammar milk at different time points of lactation showed high levels of miRNA secreted in milk and allowed the identification of differentially expressed milk miRNAs during the lactation cycle as putative markers of mammary gland activity and functional candidate signals to assist growth and timed development of the young. Comparative analysis of miRNA distribution in milk and blood serum suggests that milk miRNAs are primarily expressed from mammary gland rather than transferred from maternal circulating blood, likely through a new putative exosomal secretory pathway. 8 profiles were produced.

Project description:Overview Several methods are available to probe responses to external stresses at the whole genome level. RNAseq can be used to measure changes in expression of all genes following exposure to stress, but gives no information about the contribution of these genes to an organism’s ability to survive the stress. The relative contribution of each non-essential gene in the genome to the fitness of the organism under stress can be obtained using methods that use sequencing to estimate the frequencies of members of a dense transposon library grown under different conditions. These two methods thus probe different aspects of the underlying biology of the organism. We were interested to determine the extent to which the data from these two methods converged on related genes and pathways. To do this, we looked at a combination of biologically meaningful stresses. The human gut contains different organic short chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced by fermentation of carbon compounds, and E. coli is exposed to these in its passage through the gut. Their effect is likely to depend on both the ambient pH and the level of oxygen present. We therefore generated RNAseq and TraDIS data on the uropathogenic E. coli strain EO399 grown at either pH 7 or pH 5.5, in the presence or absence of one of three SCFAs (acetic, butyric or propionic acid), both aerobically and anaerobically. Our analysis identifies both known and novel pathways as likely important under these conditions.

Project description:Given that different diets could alter cow milk yield and composition, the effects of different feed formula on milk extracellular vesicle (EV) miRNAs were detected. Cow milk EVs contained various small RNAs, including miRNAs, snRNAs, tiRNAs, Cis-regulatory elements, and piRNAs. Two hundred and seventy-six known bos taurus miRNAs were identified by sequencing in bovine milk EVs. There were 13 immune-related miRNAs in the top 20 miRNAs in milk EVs. Nine differently expressed known miRNAs were detected in responding to different feed formulations. Cow milk EVs are abundant of small RNAs, especially miRNAs, which might be closely related to the development of maternal mammary gland and neonatal immune maturity.
