  1. Probiotic Properties of Bifidobacterium longum KABP042 and Pediococcus pentosaceus KABP041 Show Potential to Counteract Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders in an Observational Pilot Trial in Infants

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are a common concern during the first year of life. Recognized as gut-brain axis disorders by Rome IV criteria, FGIDs etiology is linked to altered gut-brain interaction, intestinal physiology, and microbiota. In this regard, probiotics have emerged as a promising therapy for infant FGIDs.

  2. Presence of bacteria capable of PCB biotransformation in stormwater bioretention cells

    • FEMS Microbiology Ecology

    • ABSTRACT Core samples from bioretention cell media as well as surface stormwater sediment samples from seven urban areas were collected to assess the potential for biotransformation activity of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The presence of putative organohalide-respiring bacteria in these samples was studied. Based on extracted DNA, Dehalobacter, Dehalogenimonas and Dehalococcoides were detected.
