Improvement of the DNA repair capacity of human fibroblasts by autolysates of Lactobacillus gasseri.
Abstract
Autolysates of Lactobacillus gasseri were tested for their ability to improve repair capacity in cultured human fibroblasts. In the course of this research on molecular mechanisms of hereditary DNA repair deficiencies and presenility syndromes, a significant and reproducible effect on repair capacity in these cells by an autolysate of the gram-positive bacterium Lactobacillus gasseri was found.
