The present invention relates to a method for transforming a strain of thegenus through natural competence. The present invention further relates to strains obtained or obtainable by said method. The present invention also relates to a method for identifying a strain of thegenus which is transformable through natural competence.

Methods and strain

The present invention relates to a lactic acid bacterium, in particular a strain of thegenus, with reduced sensitivity to cos-type bacteriophages. The invention also relates to methods to engineer these lactic acid bacteria as well as their use to ferment milk.

Lactic acid bacterium with a reduction of sensitivity to cos-type bacteriophages

Methods and compositions are provided for the use of anti-CRISPR (ACR) proteins in plants, including modulation of Cas endonuclease activity, improvement of frequency of homologous recombination, control of Cas endonuclease activity during various cell cycles, spatial and/or temporal regulation of Cas endonuclease activity in plants, usage in gene activation or repression, as well as reduction of off-target polynucleotide cleavage.

Anti-CRISPR polynucleotides and polypeptides and methods of use

The invention relates to anti-CRISPR genes and anti-CRISPR proteins, and their uses in various biotechnology applications.

Anti-CRISPR genes and proteins and methods of use

The invention relates to CRISPR sequences found in bifidobacteria and their uses.

Bifidobacteria CRISPR sequences

The present invention relates to the use of one or more cas genes for modulating resistance in a cell against a target nucleic acid or a transcription product thereof.

Method of modulating cell resistance

The present invention relates tostrains, usable as starter cultures, able to provide both satisfactory rheological and organoleptic properties, and satisfactory shelf life to the media into which they are incorporated. In particular, these strains are also bacteriophage-resistant, thereby minimizing bacteriophage infection. The invention also provides a composition comprising one of thesestrains, and feed or food products obtained with these strains.

strains

The invention relates to bacterial strains having an outstanding ability to produce menaquinone and to applications thereof.

Bacterial strains having an outstanding ability to produce menaquinone

The disclosure relates in one aspect to a fast acidifying lactic acid bacterium that generates a viscosity in fermented milk greater than about 62 Pa&#xb7;s after 14 days of storage at 6&#xb0; C. Further, the disclosure includes method for preparing and products of food, food additive, feed, nutritional supplement, or probiotic supplement, thereof.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to a nucleic acid comprising aCRISPR repeat region and/or aCRISPR spacer region.

Method for modulating resistance

The present invention provides methods for tagging and/or identifying microorganisms. In some preferred embodiments, the microorganisms are bacteria. In some particularly preferred embodiments, the bacteria are members of the genus, while in other embodiments, the bacteria are members of other genera. The present invention also provides microorganisms tagged using the methods set forth herein. In some preferred embodiments, the tagged microorganisms are bacteria. In some particularly preferred embodiments, the tagged bacteria are members of the genus, while in other embodiments, the tagged bacteria are members of other genera.

Tagged microorganisms and methods of tagging

The present invention relates to peptides, nucleic acids and methods for transforming a bacterium belonging to thegenus by natural competence and their use in the food and feed industry.
