Although Lactobacilli are generally considered probiotic agents in metazoans, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Erkosar et al. (2015) reveal that a Drosophila gut commensal, Lactobacillus plantarum(WJL), promotes animal growth by enhancing the host's capacity for protein degradation.
尽管乳杆菌通常被认为是后生动物中的益生菌剂，但潜在的分子机制在很大程度上尚不清楚。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》杂志中，Erkosar 等人（2015 年）揭示了一种果蝇肠道共生菌，植物乳杆菌（WJL），通过增强宿主的蛋白质降解能力来促进动物生长。
