Cyclophosphamide (CPx), are generally limited due to numerous unwanted severe acute toxic side-effects. For this purpose, the cell-protective effects kefir, natural probiotic known for its antitumor antioxidant properties, o...

We report here the genome sequences of three novel bacterial species strains-Bacillus kefirresidentii Opo, Rothia kefirresidentii KRP, and Streptococcus kefirresidentii YK-isolated from kefir grains collected in Germany. The draft genomes of these isolates were remarkably dissimilar (average nucleotide identities, 77.80%, 89.01%, and 92.10%, respectively) to those of the previously sequenced st...

O processo de fermentação está entre os processos produção alimentos mais antigos documentados pela história das civilizações. Os produtos fermentados são primeiros processados consumidos pelo homem, naturais ou minimamente e possuem compostos ativos produzidos por meio atividades biológicas conhecidas como o kefir, um consorcio microrganismos que atuam promovendo a fermentação.

Background: Mycotoxins naturally occur in foods. Aflatoxins can cause serious health problems in consumers. Nowadays, biological detoxification method is considered to decrease the aflatoxins level in foods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of kefir starter microorganisms to decrease the aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) levels in milk. Methods: The study was carried out at Shabestar branch,...
