Probiotics are valuable microorganisms effective in reducing malnutrition-related infections in children. In this work, a collection of lactobacilli strains representative of traditional Andean fermented beverages was in vitro screened for their capability to survive the gastrointestinal transit, to adhere to the intestinal epithelium and to compete under simulated conditions of the child gut microbiota. The results allowed th...

Strain CECT 9734 T , a Gram-negative, aerobic, chemoorganotrophic bacterium, motile by polar flagella, was isolated from cultured European seabass, Dicenthrarchus labrax, in Spain. It grows from 5 to 42 ºC, 6–9 pH and 1–12% total salinity. Major cellular fatty acids are C 15:0 iso, summed feature 9 (C 17:1 iso w9c /C 16:0 10-methyl) and C 17:0 iso. The genome size is 2.5 Mbp and G + C content is 49.5 mol%. Comparative analysis...
