A new strain of the Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG probiotic is able to utilise both lactose and casein as well as reproduce in dairy products. The discovery can make it unnecessary to separately add ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have created a strain of the Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG probiotic that is able to utilize both lactose and casein as well as reproduce in dairy products.

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis mechanism of probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). These mutant ...

This scanning electron microscopy of the Lacticaseibacillus casei AMBR2 strain from the nose shows long, spike-like fimbriae that allow the bacteria to adhere to the cell surface of our nose. Credit: ...

Ribosomal engineering (RE) induces spontaneous mutations in ribosomal proteins, thereby altering protein expression and potentially enhancing useful characteristics. Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ...
