The present invention pertains to the use of the DNA sequence of astrain, in particular to its genomic sequence for elucidating interactions of micro-organism with hosts they colonize, and moreover for elucidating the basis of probiotic properties exhibited by such strain. In addition, the present invention also relates to methods of detecting nucleic acids or polypeptides ofand related species, respectively. A data carrier is provided comprising nucleotide sequences and/or polypeptide sequences of La1.

[object Object]

A DNA fragment derived from coffee encoding at least one enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of polysaccharides comprising pure or branched mannan molecules linked to each other via a &#x3b2; (1&#x2192;4) linkage, and which has the the nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID NO.:1 or which is homologous to or hybridizes to a fragment of DNA having the nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID NO.:1.

Coffee mannanase

A novel microorganism of the genus, in particular to its genomic and plasmid sequence and to a method of producing polypeptides of said, respectively. Also methods of detecting these nucleic acids or polypeptides, respectively. A data carrier is provided comprising nucleotide sequences and/or polypeptide sequences of NCC2705. In addition, thestrain NCC2705 and also to food and pharmaceutical compositions containing saidor active components thereof for the prevention and/or treatment of diarrhoea brought about by rotaviruses and pathogenic bacteria are provided.

NCC2705&#x2014;the genome of a bifidobacterium

The present invention pertains to novel strains of thegroup capable of fermenting beans, which are essentially devoid of any iso-valeric acid production. The present invention especially relates to novel strains of, in which one or more genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway for the production of iso-valeric acids are essentially non-functional.

Strains of the Bacillus subtilis group for food fermentation

Recombinant strains of,which have capacities of surviving passage through the intestine, adhering to human intestinal cells and increasing phagocytosis of macrophages and which have a sequence of gene coding which is an,strain sequence of gene coding for D-lactate dehydrogenase modified so that the recombinant strain produces only L(&plus;)-lactate.

Recombinant, sequence-modified L. johnsonii bacteria which produce only L(&plus;)-lactate

A recombinant strain of L. johnsonii which has capacities of surviving passage through the intestine, adhering to human intestinal cells and increasing phagocytosis of macrophages and which has a gene sequence code for D-lactate dehydrogenase which is a modified L. johnsonii gene sequence code and which produces only L(+)-lactate.
