A Kobe University team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms.

Researchers have developed a novel DNA base editing technology that allows precise genetic changes in Lactobacillus strains ...

Lactobacillus plantarum, a bacterium typically present in fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir, is recognized for its ability to enhance gut health, bolster the immune system, and ...

A team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms. This technique is indistinguishable from natural variation and enabled the researchers to ...

By using Target-AID to mutate that gene, they engineered a Lactobacillus strain that could produce yogurt with less than a tenth of that chemical, making it safer to consume for people with type 2 ...
