Project description:Lactobacillus casei is remarkably adaptive to diverse habitats. To understand the evolution and adaptation of Lb. casei strains isolated from different environments, the gene content of 22 Lb. casei strains isolated from various habitats (cheeses, n=8; plant materials, n=8; and human sources, n=6) were examined by comparative genome hybridization with an Lb. casei ATCC 334-based microarray.
Project description:The response to bile of Lactobacillus casei BL23 and its derivative strain TC01 was investigated. TC01 strain carries a complete deletion of gene LCABL_02080 which encodes a two component signal transduction response regulator.
