background: lactobacillus plantarum isolated from fermented olives has been extensively studied with the aim of its use in starter cultures for olive or other production fermentations, but little is known about its antimicrobial resistance and its probiotic effects. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity using different strains of l. plantarum isolated fro...

One of the main challenges in aquaponics is disease control. One possible solution for this is biological control with organisms exerting inhibitory effects on fish and plant pathogens. The aim of this study was to examine the potential of isolating microorganisms that exert an inhibitory effect on both plant and fish pathogens from an established aquaponic system. We obtained 924 isolates on s...

Twenty-eight strains of Aeromonas spp. were analyzed for their ability to grow on two different kinds of cefsulodin-Irgasan (triclosan; Ciba-Geigy AG, Basel, Switzerland)-novobiocin (CIN) agar containing 15 or 4 mg of cefsulodin per ml and on inositol-bile salts-brilliant green (IBB) agar. Relative to blood agar, 68% of the strains were inhibited by more than 2 logs (i.e., less than 1% growth) ...

The hydrolysis of esculin in the presence of bile has been utilized for many years for the identification of bacteria. It is especially useful in differentiating species of the genus Streptococcus. The procedure is a two-step one. First, the bacterium must grow in a particular concentration of bile, and second, it must hydrolyze esculin. The hydrolysis of esculin has traditionally been determin...

This paper aims to find out lactobacillu strains with cholesterol-reducing effect from crab paste. were isolated and purified the paste Ningbo, Zhejiang Province using MRS-CaCO3medium, probiotic properties of detected by gastric acid tolerance assay, bile salt determination bacterial inhibition ability, antioxidant activity assay. Following that, cholesterol-lowering screened o-phthalaldehyde m...

Adhirasam is a cereal based, doughnut shaped, deep fried dessert consumed in the southern regions of India. The dough used to prepare adhirasam is fermented and contains rice flour and jaggery. The aim of the present study was to characterize the cultivable bacteria associated with this fermented dough and to identify a suitable starter culture for the production of quality adhirasam. In total,...

Probiotics are living microorganism which when consumed in adequate amount provide health benefit to the host, examples lactic acid bacteria gram positive organisms that can withstand different environmental stress during production and storage of products containing them. This study aims evaluate probiotic potential (LAB) strains isolated from pineapple water melon. The materials used evaluati...

UNLABELLED Bile acid sequestrants (BAS) lower plasma low density lipoprotein levels and improve glycemic control. Colestimide, a BAS, has been claimed by computed tomography to reduce liver fat. Therefore, we examined the efficacy of colesevelam, a potent BAS, to decrease liver fat in patients with biopsy-proven nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Liver fat was measured by a novel magnetic res...

The objective of this study was to assess the in vitro probiotic potential of Lactobacillus plantarum Lp10S and Lp11S isolated from Sha’a and evaluate their effects on lipid metabolism of hypercholesterolaemic rabbits. The strains were tested in vitro for their acid and bile tolerance, capability to remove cholesterol from MRS broth and to deconjugate bile salts. For in vivo studies, Lactobacil...
