PA-3 lactic acid bacteria and their functional mechanism

What are the functions and mechanisms of PA-3 lactic acid bacteria?

PA-3 lactic acid bacteria have great new potential, as they work directly on purines through three different mechanisms.

(1) PA-3 lactic acid bacteria break down nucleosides into purine bases.

PA-3 lactic acid bacteria work on nucleosides to break them down into purine bases, which are a compound that is considered difficult to be absorbed into the body. Research has shown that such breakdown reaction is proportional to time.

(2) PA-3 lactic acid bacteria take up purines in all three main structures.

Research shows that PA-3 lactic acid bacteria are able to take up purines in all three main structures.

(3) PA-3 lactic acid bacteria utilize purines after uptake.

After being taken up by PA-3 lactic acid bacteria, purines are used for proliferation, etc.
Indeed, when purines were given to PA-3 lactic acid bacteria, their proliferation was facilitated compared to no purines being given. This phenomenon was observed on all three purine structures.
