BACKGROUND Cadmium is a heavy metal that causes oxidative stress and has toxic effects in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of two probiotics along with a prebiotic in preventing the toxic effects of cadmium in rats. METHODS Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups namely control, cadmium only, cadmium along with Lactobacillus plantarum ...

Bacillus coagulans has been found to produce several surfactins that are powerful lipopeptide surfactants. Four main components with molecular weights 1007, 1021 and 1035 Da were separated. Their structures have been confirmed by spectrometric and spectroscopic studies and by acid hydrolysis. The compounds were found to represent two pairs of surfactin isoforms in which beta-hydroxy-iso-C14 or ...

The composition of the insoluble "integuments" and soluble "contents" fractions of spores of four Bacillus species of widely differing heat resistance were compared. Electron microscopy of thin sections was also used to determine and compare the morphological structures in the integument preparations. The soluble fractions of the thermophiles, B. coagulans and B. stearothermophilus, had a highe...

Anthracnose caused by the Colletotrichum scovillei is main diseases of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) that affect on plant productivity. The control pathogenic fungi has been widely reported utilizing biological agents applied in biofungicides. Bacillus spp. was to have antagonistic abilities against several fungus. purpose this study determine ability species scovillei. begins rejuven...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a two-stage fermented feather meal-soybean meal product (TSFP) on performance, clinical blood biochemistry, and immunity sows piglets. TSFP was by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y10 for three days in second stage, which showed similar results five-day fermentation B. coagulans (p > 0.05). Fifty hybrid (Duroc × KHAPS black pig) were randomly assigned i...

Loss due to diseases is a major problem in both shrimp farm and hatcheries and to control diseases, a number of antibiotics, sanitisers and chemicals are being used. This results in adverse environmental effects, emergence of antibiotic resistance and persistence of chemical residues in animal tissues. Considering the negative impact of antibiotics and other chemotherapeutants, biological contr...

conclusions the ph-dependent peppermint oil capsule and lactol tablet (bacillus coagulans+ fos) as synbiotics seem to be superior to placebo in decreasing the severity, duration and frequency of pain in abdominal pain-related functional gi disorders. background still there is no consensus on the best treatment for abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (fgids). objectives ...

Lignocellulosic biomass is an economical and renewable feedstock for microbial production of bulk chemicals such as lactic acid. In many cases, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) can achieve lower cost and higher productivity than the classical double step fermentation. Thus, in the present study, bagasse sulfite pulp was directly employed to produce lactic acid by SSF, using ...

OBJECTIVE Oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. The beneficial effects of antioxidant nutrients, as well as complex plant extracts, on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries are well known. This study was conducted to determine the effects of the hydro-alcoholic root extract of Withania coagulans on CA1 hippocampus oxidative damages following...
