study of lactobacillus as probiotic bacteria

lactobacillus as probiotic bacteria

introduction: selected probiotic lactobacilli have inhibitory effect and therefore may be use as biological preservative, so, the aim of this study was to present some data on isolation, growth, antimicrobial activity, effect of ph, heat, and sensitivity to proteolytic enzymes of lactobacillus. material and methods: isolation of lactic acid bacteria from sausage was done by using 1g of samples ...

Survival of Lactobacillus Acidophilus as Probiotic Bacteria using Chitosan Nanoparticles

Chitosan was used for nanoencapsulation of Lactobacillus acidophilus as probiotic bacteria. In vitro experiments were done with the objective of investigating the survival of the bacteria cells in gastro-intestinal conditions. The results demonstrated that the size of chitosan nanoparticles noticeably increases by increasing chitosan concentration from 0.05 to 0.5 g/mL. Encapsulation of the cel...

Cholesterol Assimilation by Lactobacillus Probiotic Bacteria: An In Vitro Investigation

Excess cholesterol is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), an important cause of mortality worldwide. Current CVD therapeutic measures, lifestyle and dietary interventions, and pharmaceutical agents for regulating cholesterol levels are inadequate. Probiotic bacteria have demonstrated potential to lower cholesterol levels by different mechanisms, including bile salt hydrolase activity...

Genome Characteristics of Lactobacillus fermentum Strain JDFM216 for Application as Probiotic Bacteria.

Lactobacillus fermentum strain JDFM216, isolated from a Korean infant feces sample, possesses the ability to enhance the longevity and immune response of a Caenorhabditis elegans host. To explore the characteristics of strain JDFM216 at the genetic level, we performed whole-genome sequencing using the PacBio system. The circular draft genome has a total length of 2,076,427 bp and a total of 2,6...

In Vitro Anti-Mycotoxigenic and Anti-Aflatoxigenic Properties of Probiotic Bacteria; Lactobacillus plantarum and L. paracasei

The present study was designed to examine the effects of Lactobacillus plantaraum and L. paracasei on the growth and aflatoxin-producing ability of Aspergillus parasiticus. In these experiments, direct and indirect interactions of two different probiotic lactobacilli with A. parasiticus was examined.A co-culture system which supported both fungal growth and probiotic bacteria showed the inhibit...
