The present invention discloses novel lactic acid bacteria, which are isolated Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis LL358 and isolated Lactobacillus salivarius LS159 respectively. By administering the novel lactic acid bacteria of the present invention, renal injury, metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia, hypocalcemia, and other disorders can be effectively ameliorated or treated.

Provided are compositions and methods based in part on the discovery that Enterococcus faecium secreted antigen A (SagA)-expressing bacteria are protective against enteric infections and enhances immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy against cancer. Bacteria that express SagA or heterologous SagA, or orthologs thereof, are provided, and are included as nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and probiotic formulations, as well as components of food products, including dairy products.

The present invention discloses a method for feeding black soldier fly larvae with a selenium-rich bacteria solution, as follows: inoculating an intestinal bacteria seed liquid of black soldier fly to a fermentation medium at an inoculum size of 1%-3%, and cultivating at 30 C.-37 C. till the log phase to obtain a fermentation broth of log phase; adding sodium selenite to the fermentation broth of log phase to enable the fermentation broth to have a sodium selenite concentration of 10-600 g/mL, then cultivating the fermentation broth at 30 C.-37 C. for 24-36 h to obtain a selenium-rich bacteria solution; and selecting 4-to-6-day-old black soldier fly larvae to be fed, adding the selenium-rich bacteria solution to a feed to enable the feed to have a selenium content of 5-500 mg/kg (wet weight), feeding the black soldier fly larvae with the feed till the end of the fifth instar of the larvae.
