Genetic Transformation of Rifampicin Resistance in Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus plantarum occur naturally in the human

Survival of alginate-prebiotic microencapsulated Lactobacillus acidophilus in mayonnaise sauce

Background: Nowadays, Microencapsulation of probiotic bacteria is the newest method for increasing the survival ability of probiotics in Food products. The Lactobacillus acidophilus as a probiotic bacterium has more beneficial effects and the low survival of this bacterium under food processing conditions and adverse environment have been studied by many researchers. OBJECTIVES: In this study, ...

Characterization of Rhamnosidases from Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Lactobacilli are known to use plant materials as a food source. Many such materials are rich in rhamnose-containing polyphenols, and thus it can be anticipated that lactobacilli will contain rhamnosidases. Therefore, genome sequences of food-grade lactobacilli were screened for putative rhamnosidases. In the genome of Lactobacillus plantarum, two putative rhamnosidase genes (ram1(Lp) and ram2(L...

Clinical Efficacy of Dds - 1 Lactobacillus Acidophilus

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this white paper is to present a comprehensive review of literature regarding the clinical and laboratory evidence behind Lactobacillus acidophilus on supporting health, with a focus on the DDS-1 strain. Discovered in 1959, the DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus has been used in numerous laboratory, animal, and human clinical studies, and has been shown to have a po...

Degradation of thymidine by Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Whole cells of Lactobacillus acidophilus are capable of degrading thymidine to thymine, suggesting the presence of thymidine phosphorylase (or thymidine hydrolase). This activity was also demonstrated in cell-free extracts.
