Project description:Among the diverse forms of symbioses, facultative nutritional mutualism forged by the host and its resident gut microbiota permits the symbiont to adapt to the changing nutritional environment during the host’s life time. The horizontally acquired gut bacteria in Drosophila are a perfect example of nutritional mutualists. Here, we study the Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp WJL) infection effect in the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) collection in context of larvae raised in chronic undernutrtion.
Project description:To extend our understanding of bifidobacterial mutualism and carbohydrate syntrophy in the gut we adopted advanced functional genomics to create single- and double-deletion isogenic strains of the NagA encoding genes of B. breve UCC2003. The resulting strains were examined, as compared to the parent strain, for their ability to metabolise particular host derived carbohydrates. In addition, the B. breve strains were examined for their crossfeeding capability and ability to establish, in the presence of B. bifidum ATCC29521, in the gut of dam fed neonatal mice.
