Scientists created useful bacteria for diabetics 12:50

The Japanese researchers team of Kobe University developed a new way to organize Lactobacillus bacteria DNA without using alien genetic material. Thanks to this technique, they managed to create a coercion that does not produce a chemical substance that exacerbates the course of type 2 diabetes. Technology is called target-help and according to authors, the commonly known CRISPR-CAS9 transcends in terms of accuracy and safety. Published in İş Magazine Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (EMB).

Unlike the traditional genetic engineering methods that cause breaks and risks for cells in DNA, the target aid allows you to correctly change the individual parts of the genes without violating the structure of the genome.

Project Manager Bio -Mühendis Cage Nisida said, “We can change the genes without using the DNA of other organisms. This makes the method as close to natural mutations,” he said.

Methodology, yogurt, pickles and other fermented products used in the production of two industrially important lactobacillus species have been applied successfully. In particular, scientists closed the gene in the development of compounds that could be harmful to people with diabetes. The result is a safe type of bacteria for diabetes suitable for use in the food industry.

It is important that such bacteria do not enter the strict legislative restrictions applied to transgenic organisms. This paves the way for rapid commercialization after passing standard security controls.

In addition, technology allows you to edit several gene at the same time and use it in basic research. In the future, scientists expect to use their methods to create probiotics that have a healing effect directed from strengthening immunity to the prevention of lifestyle -related diseases.

“We hope that our study will be a step towards new food products and bioavailability that will actively support human health,” Nisida summarizes.
