Abstract: Compositions for use in oral hygiene contain a Lactobacillus helveticus strain. Compositions further containing a Lactobacillus plantarum strain, especially Lactobacillus plantarum SD5870, are particularly effective. The combination of Lactobacillus helveticus LAFTI L10 and Lactobacillus plantarum SD5870 synergistically improves oral hygiene. The compositions are particularly useful against dental caries.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antibacterial composition including two or more strains selected from the group consisting of Anaerostipes hadrus, Collinsella aerofaciens, Blautia wexlerae and Bifidobacterium longum strains that inhibit the activity of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to plant-based air purification systems and more particularly to wall mounted systems for removing impurities from indoor air using plants.

Abstract: Provided are a mixture of three species of Lactobacillus fermentum strain and Lactobacillus plantarum strain and use thereof. A composition according to one aspect including, as an active ingredient, a mixture of Lactobacillus fermentum strains GB102 and GB103 and Lactobacillus plantarum strain GB104; or a lysate or culture solution thereof, or an extract of the culture solution, can be usefully used for the prevention or treatment of muscle-related disorders or obesity by alleviating the decrease in grip strength induced by aging or reducing the change in intestinal microbial environment induced by aging.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are biocontrol compositions against plant fungal pathogens and methods of use thereof for the prevention or reduction of crop loss or food spoilage. The biocontrol composition can comprise at least one microbe with anti-fungal activity or a secondary metabolite of the at least one microbe. The methods can comprise application of the biocontrol composition to a plant, a seed, or a produce thereof or to a packaging material used to transport or store the produce.

Abstract: Provided are an identifying device, an identification method, an identification system, and a database structure capable of identifying species of organisms including animals, insects, and plants. The identifying device for identifying organisms includes a reception unit for receiving feature information including at least one of a location, date and time, image data, attribution information of the image data, and a keyword representing a feature of the organism transmitted from a user terminal, and an identification unit for identifying the species of the organism based on the feature information received by the reception unit by referring to a database in which species of organisms are stored in association with the feature information.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, compositions, and kits to address the need for microbiome-related treatment of health conditions and disease. The present disclosure provides for treatment of metabolic conditions using microbial compositions.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel compositions and methods of treating humans and animals infected by Apicomplexan parasites. More specifically, the present invention relates to treating an Apicomplexan infection by administering s-triazines, such as atrazine, to an infected human or animal. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing therapeutically effective amounts of s-triazines, such as atrazine, useful in treating parasitic infections.
