BACKGROUND This randomized double blind placebo controlled dual site clinical trial compared a probiotic dietary supplement to placebo regarding effects on gastrointestinal symptoms in adults with post-prandial intestinal gas-related symptoms (abdominal pain, distention, flatulence) but no gastrointestinal (GI) diagnoses to explain the symptoms. METHODS Sixty-one adults were enrolled (age 36....

The use of probiotics is an innovation in effort to increase production and fight pathogens aquaculture cultivation environments. Probiotic candidate microorganisms are selected selectively ensure that the used safe provide benefits for host environment. This study aims select probiotic candidates based on aspects growth sensitivity antibiotics from 4 isolates Bacillus abalone (Haliotis asinina...

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 includ...

Jerusalem artichoke is a low-requirement crop, which does not interfere with food chain, and is a promising carbon source for industrial fermentation. Microbial conversion of such a renewable raw material to useful products, such as lactic acid, is an important objective in industrial biotechnology. In this study, high-optical-purity l-lactate was efficiently produced from the hydrolysates of J...

Nowadays, nanotechnology has been used to overcome many global problems such as growing worldwide demand for energy and of microbial antibiotic resistance. The presented study the probiotic Bacillus coagulans (ATCC 7050) a nano-factory biosynthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR XRD, TEM Zeta analysis confirmed formation spherical ZnO NPs with mean size 10-19 ...

AIMS To characterize the antimicrobial protein produced by Bacillus coagulans used in the probiotic dietary supplement (Lactospore) Probiotic, Sabinsa Corp., Piscataway, NJ, USA). METHODS AND RESULTS Bacillus coagulans ATCC 7050 was grown at 37 degrees C for 18 h. The cell free supernatant was concentrated 10-fold (lactosporin preparation, LP). The antimicrobial activity of LP was confirmed a...

This study is aimed at exploring the effects of Bacillus coagulans NRS 609 on growth performance, intestinal health, antioxidant activity, and immune response in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) by colonizing tract with beneficial strain. Gavage B. GFP-tag 109 CFU/mL into for 7 days. Results indicated that were maintained intestine least 14 Four groups fed different levels inclusion, including ...

To counteract global food safety hazards related to raw consumption of ready-to-eat leafy vegetables, a method improve bacterial status using antagonistic bacteria was studied under field conditions. This is the first study identify potential Escherichia coli antagonists from native microbiota on green vegetables and evaluate their effect in an industrial production setting. Bacterial strains w...

BACKGROUND Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological disorder in elderly men. Phytotherapy is frequently used to alleviate the symptoms of this condition. OBJECTIVES The present study investigated the effect of Withania coagulans extract (WCE), which is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, and anti-cancer properties, on testosterone-induced BPH in ra...

AIM We evaluated the effectiveness of a synbiotic in the treatment of childhood functional abdominal pain (FAP). BACKGROUND Probiotics are effective in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders in adult patients, but there is lack of information in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS Children with FAP, based on the Rome III criteria (n = 115, aged 6-18 years), were randomized to rec...
