Microencapsulation with hydrocolloids as a modern technique has been used to prolong the survival of probiotics during exposure to harsh conditions. In this study, alginate-Hylon starch microcapsules with genipin cross-linked chitosan and poly-L-lysine coatings were developed to encapsulate four strains of probiotic bacteria, including Lactobacillus casei (ATCC 39392), Bifidobacterium bifidum (...

This study investigates the possible synergistic stimulatory effects of prebiotic chitooligosaccharide and some commercial prebiotics on probiotic growth. Different combination with inulin, fructooligosaccharide, lactulose were prepared their ability to stimulate growth strains was evaluated. Following Chou-Talalay method, index calculated used for assessment. The data showed that most combinat...

In nature, the phenomenon of an equal probability distribution four nucleotides did not exist. Due to influence selection, Bifidobacterium animalis would be presented with probability. was frequently added food because its special metabolic pathway, which could catalyze fructose and lactic acid. This study analyzed industrial environmental through strategies such as a phylogenetic tree, ENC, RS...

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) are two of the most important mycotoxins associated with tropical subtropical climate as in Egypt. Therefore, this study aimed to isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Bifidobacteria from some local dairy products Egypt using strains reduce/or remove AFB1 OTA toxins. Fifty samples, milk products, including ten samples each, Kareish, Damietta cheese (soft...

Mounting evidence elucidates the impact of gut microbiota on maintenance host’s physical and psychological conditions. The can produce its effects through neural, endocrine, immune pathways. Specific members, such as lactobacilli bifidobacteria, have shown unique abilities to affect mental health, hence, they are called psychobiotics. Several studies, both rodents humans, confirmed role Bifidob...

AIM To develop real-time quantitative PCR methods, based on the use of probes labelled with a stable fluorescent lanthanide chelate, for the quantification of different human faecal bifidobacterial populations. METHODS AND RESULTS The designed quantitative PCR assays were found to be specific for the corresponding Bifidobacterium species or groups (Bifidobacterium longum group, Bifidobacteriu...

Background: Probiotics are “live”, beneficial microbes that provide important health benefits in their hosts. There is significant interest in the modulation and regulation of the immune function by probiotics. Objective: To investigate the immunomodulatory effects of a probiotic mixture, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, by detecting serum cytokine and immunoglobulin levels....

Zonulin protein is a newly discovered modulator which modulates the permeability of the intestinal epithelial barrier by disassembling intercellular tight junctions (TJ). Disruption of TJ is associated with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). It has been shown bifidobacterium could protect the intestinal barrier function and prophylactical administration of bifidobacterium has beneficial ...

Bifidobacterium scardovii strain JCM 12489(T) was isolated from human blood and has the largest bifidobacterial genome reported to date. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this organism. This paper is the first report demonstrating the fully sequenced and completely annotated genome of a B. scardovii strain.
