Core Tip
Core tip: Our results revealed that degraded bacterial genomic DNA was mainly released by Gram-negative bacteria, especially Bacteroidales-S24-7 and Stenotrophomonas genus in gut mucus of mice. They decreased pro-inflammatory activity compared to genomic DNA of total gut flora. Our study highlights that bacteria derived DNA plays an important role in modulating local immune response in mouse gut.
