“…It is a leading member of the probiotic bacteria due to numerous studies that have provided a growing body of evidence for its role in a myriad of potential health benefits. These include diarrhea prevention in antibiotic treated patients (Black et al 1991), cholesterol reduction (Dambekodi & Gilliland 1998), alleviation of lactose intolerance symptoms (Jiang et al 1996), immune stimulation (Takahashi et al 1998), and cancer prevention (Reddy & Rivenson 1993). This myriad of potential health benefits attributed to the B. longum species clearly illustrates that this species possesses many very interesting characteristics.…”

This review summarizes a collection of lactic acid bacteria that are now undergoing genomic sequencing and analysis. Summaries are presented on twenty different species, with each overview discussing the organisms fundamental and practical significance, environmental habitat, and its role in fermentation, bioprocessing, or probiotics. For those projects where genome sequence data were available by March 2002, summaries include 30 a listing of key statistics and interesting genomic features. These efforts will revolutionize our molecular view of Gram-positive bacteria, as up to 15 genomes from the low GC content lactic acid bacteria are expected to be available in the public domain by the end of 2003. Our collective view of the lactic acid bacteria will be fundamentally changed as we rediscover the relationships and capabilities of these organisms through genomics.

“…For example, in vitro cytokine production of macrophages was stimulated by Bifidobacteria [36]. Bifidobacterium longum as well as several other lactic acid bacteria have been found to increase the total amount of intestinal IgA [57], [65]. Lactobacillus casei was reported to have immune adjuvant activity by [43] and Lactobacillus plantarum was shown to increase antibody production against Escherichia coli.…”

“…The activation of the oral immune system is clearly associated with activation of T cells in PP. Recently, the oral administration of certain lactic acid bacteria (12,13) and water-soluble dietary fibers such as glucomannan and pectin (14,15) has also been reported to enhance the mucosal IgA response.…”

Abstract. Soy sauce (Shoyu) is a traditional Japanese fermented seasoning and is available worldwide. We investigated the effect of Shoyu polysaccharides (SPS) prepared from soy sauce on the intestinal immune system of mice. SPS enhanced the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA) from Peyer's patch cells in vitro, and its oral administration to 7-week-old male BALB/c mice for 2 weeks at a dose of 1.5 mg per day significantly (p<0.01) increased the concentration of IgA in the intestine as compared to control mice. Furthermore, experiments on the intestinal transport of SPS in vitro using the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 confirmed the permeation of uronic acid to be timedependent. In conclusion, SPS of soy sauce enhanced the production of IgA in vitro and in vivo, and the digested SPS might cross the enterocytic monolayer. Thus, soy sauce is a potentially promising food for enhancing host defenses.
