Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on the hypothesis that the intestinal bacteria grow on dietary compounds of the host, novel intestinal bacteria from sweet-potato-fed dog were screened using media containing sweet potato. A intestinal bacterium where 16S rDNA sequence shows 97% identity to that of Fusobacterium varium JCM6320 was isolated. Also based on the hypothesis that the metabolite of the intestinal bacteria modulates the activity of cholesterol ABC transporter, the compounds were screened from the culture supernatant of predominant intestinal bacteria. Compounds synthesized by the intestinal bacteria facilitated the export of cholesterol by the ABC transporter and repressed the inflammatory response in the macrophage.
