A novelAO356 strain according to the present disclosure, which is a strain isolated from the human body, has high stability, exhibits the activity of inhibiting adipogenic differentiation in vitro and inducing the differentiation of M1 and M0 macrophages into M2 macrophages, and has excellent activity of alleviating, preventing, or treating obesity, such as the activity of reducing body weight and a reduction in blood lipid concentration through the browning of white fat in animal experiments. Thus, the novel strain of the present disclosure has a low possibility of causing side effects, and therefore, unlike conventional diet functional foods or drugs, which have side effect problems, a diet effect can be exhibited without controlling the dose thereof. Accordingly, the novel strain can be used as a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing obesity or a food composition for alleviating or preventing obesity.

The present invention relates to a hyaluronidase inhibitor containing poly-gamma-glutamic acid (PGA) as an active ingredient, a composition for maintaining skin elasticity and a composition for improving allergy, wherein each of the compositions contains PGA as an active ingredient. The inventive compositions containing PGA are effective in maintaining skin moisturization and skin elasticity by effectively inhibiting the activity of hyaluronidase which is an enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid present in the skin dermis. Also, the compositions can relieve allergic symptoms by inhibiting the permeability of inflammatory cells.
