Identification of a stimulant for Lactobacillus casei produced by Streptococcus lactis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A compound stimulatory to the growth of Lactobacillus casei was isolated from cell extracts of Streptococcus lactis, purified, and characterized. The stimulant was identified as a small peptide with a molecular weight of approximately 4,500 daltons. The purified peptide gave negative tests for nucleic acids, phosphorus, glucosamine, and carbohydrates. Sixteen amino acids were detected in acid hydrolysates of this peptide. Serine, proline, glycine, alanine, leucine, and glutamic acid were present in hydrolysates in greatest abundance.

Effect of Bacteriocin Produced by Lactobacillus casei with Probiotic Potential Isolated from Milk on the Ability of Biofilm Production by Streptococcus salivarius Obtained from Dental Plaque
Background and purpose: Dental plaque is a biofilm that is formed on the surface of the tooth. Carious lesions are caused by inappropriate ecological changes in microbial flora of the plaque biofilm. In this study, the effect of Lactobacillus casei bacteriocin, isolated from dairy products, was investigated on Streptococcus salivarius biofilm formation. Materials and methods: In this experimen...

This study evaluated the effects of prebiotics on fermentation profile and growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium lactis in co-cultures with Streptococcus thermophilus. Acidification rate and viability were positively influenced by the co-culture with B. lactis and by both inulin or oligofructose in low fat milk.

متن کاملLactobacillus casei acquires the binding activity to fibronectin by the expression of the fibronectin binding domain of Streptococcus pyogenes on the cell surface.
Fibronectin binding domain was expressed on the cell surface of Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota which hardly adheres to fibronectin. DNA for the fibronectin binding domain of the sfbl gene, which encodes a fibronectin binding protein of Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 21059, was amplified with polymerase chain reaction, cloned into a surface display vector pSAK332, and introduced into L. casei. ...
