Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) causes an acute and highly transmissible disease characterized by severe hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis, ultimately resulting in the death of dogs and wild carnivores. At present, although vaccines have been developed for CPV-2, there are no specific and effective vaccines available for prevention of CPV-2c infection. To develop mucosal vaccines against CPV-2c, we constructed recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) expressing the VP2 antigen of CPV-2c. We amplified the VP2 gene from a CPV-2c subtype strain and subsequently constructed recombinant L. plantarum NC8 strains that express the VP2 and pgsA'-VP2 proteins, respectively. This work has shown that recombinant L. plantarum strains NC8/pSIP409-VP2 and NC8/pSIP409-pgsA'-VP2 can effectively activate dendritic cells maturation markers (CD80, CD86, and MHC-Ⅱ) while inducing robust IgG and IFN-γ responses in both mice and dogs. Furthermore, recombinant L. plantarum elevated sIgA and IgG concentrations and augmented B220⁺IgA⁺ cell populations. The data indicated that the recombinant L. plantarum developed in this work can significantly enhance the host immunity as an oral vaccination and may contribute to the prevention and control of canine parvovirus infection in dogs.

The nisin-controlled gene expression (NICE) system is an efficient and promising gene expression system for . To enhance the expression efficiency of the NICE system in ATCC19258, an inducible expression vector, pNZ8148-PnisA-gfp-PnisR-nisR-nisK, containing the regulatory element NisR/K and the promoter PnisR, was first constructed using the basic plasmid pNZ8148. Green fluorescent protein (GFP), as the reporter protein, was cloned downstream of PnisA in the vector pNZ8148 to detect protein expression.

The present study investigates the species boundaries, evolutionary relationships, and host-parasite interfaces of dimorphic mycoparasites that were previously assigned to , , and based on morphological similarities Our comparison of recently collected and cultivated samples with the type specimens of and shows that both groups are species complexes, of which the taxa can be differentiated based on morphological and ecological characters. By integrating the results of a seven-locus dataset (SSU, LSU, ITS, , , , and mitochondrial ) and detailed micromorphological comparisons of the investigated specimens, we show for the first time that these three groups of mycoparasites belong to (). We applied a polyphasic species concept involving morphology, phylogeny, and ecology to delineate and circumscribe these and new genera.

Background: Microbial interactions are critical for maintaining the stability of food fermentation microbiomes, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) significantly influence these interactions by horizontal gene transfer events. Although MGEs are known to facilitate horizontal gene transfer, their distribution among microorganisms and specific effects on microbial interactions remain poorly understood.
Results: We analyzed 590 metagenomic and 42 metatranscriptomic samples from food fermentations, recovering 1133 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs).

Vibrio anguillarum caused extensive economic losses to the aquaculture industry. As known, vaccines have the advantages of low toxicity and high safety to the environment. Notably, Lactobacillus has been identified as a highly-adhesive intestinal microorganism that can effectively stimulate mucosal immune responses, and could be used as an antigen delivery vehicle of oral vaccine.
