Production of cellulosic ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass leads to the generation a hemicellulosic hydrolysate during feedstock pretreatment. This is rich in sugars, but also contains inhibitory compounds (mainly acetic acid and phenolic compounds) concentrations that may be toxic microbial growth. Currently, this side-stream production process processed as waste, due lack feasible alternat...

Use of Withania coagulans as herbal coagulant in the production probiotic cheese containing inulin and evaluation its physicochemical, sensory textural properties

AIM We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a synbiotic containing Bacillus Coagulans in treatment of IBS. BACKGROUND Some studies have shown the efficacy of probiotics in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Adult IBS patients (n=85) were randomized to receive a synbiotic containing Bacillus Coagulans or placebo for 12 weeks. Frequency of IBS symptoms includin...

BACKGROUND Biodegradable polyesters are candidates for the development of environmental friendly plastics. Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a type of polyester from the hydroxyalkanoates family, synthesized by bacteria as an intracellular material and accumulated as granules in the cytoplasm. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to isolate Poly β-hydroxybutyrate over producing bacteria and opt...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Model-based characterization of growth performance and l-lactic acid production with high optical purity by thermophilic Bacillus coagulans in a lignin-supplemented mixed substrate medium (R. Glaser and J. Venus, 2016) [1]". This data survey provides the information on characterization of three Bacillus coagulans s...

The distribution of mannosamine, mannosaminuronic acid, and the enzymes responsible for the formation of these saccharides was studied in nine species (18 strains) of Bacillus. Whereas UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase activity was detected in all of the strains examined, UDP-N-acetylmannosamine dehydrogenase, as well as the activity incorporating N-acetylmannosaminuronic acid residues from U...

Arthrospira ( Spirulina ) platensis is a freshwater cyanobacterium that commercially produced as food source on global scale and considered safe for human consumption. After C-phycocyanin (C-PC) extraction, the waste cell residue (WCR) composed of nutrients with 30% protein content. Here, potential WCR nitrogen Bacillus coagulans cultivation bioproducts was evaluated. Nitrogen substitute from u...

In general, spores of B. cereus, B. megaterium, B. Sphaericus and B. subtilis strains germinated uniformly within a short time of incubation in a germination medium. In contrast, spores of B, circulans, B. brevis, B. laterosporus, B. pulvifaciens, B. polymyxa, B. pumilus, B. licheniformis and B. coagulans strains were usually slow and/or uneven germinators under the same conditions of incubatio...
