conclusions it was found that the isolated bacteria produced biosurfactants that had a great potential for different industries. results the 3 isolates from cheese, yoghurt and silage were effective against isolated e.coli and could produce biosurfactants. phylogenic relationships of the 3 potential candidates were determined comparing the 16sr dna gene sequences, they were found to be as 3 iso...

The selection of potential probiotic strains that possess the physiological capacity performing successfully in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a critical challenge. Probiotic microorganisms must tolerate deleterious effects various stresses to survive passage and function human GIT. Adhesion intestinal mucosa also an important aspect. Recently, numerous studies have been performed concerning e...

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases seriously harm human health, and Bifidobacterium is the most beneficial probiotic in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. This work aimed to screen cholesterol-lowering Bifidobacterium from Guizhou Xiang Pig and evaluate its tolerance to oxygen, acid, and bile. Twenty-seven aerotolerant strains with similar colony to Bifidobacterium were isolated thr...

conclusions there are many of different species of lactobacillus probiotics in traditional dairy products of the markazi province, based on the findings of this study. it is recommended for researchers to isolate these strains and investigate their probiotic characteristics in order to reproduce them for use in food production as well as for medical treatment. results nineteen gram-positive and...

Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, representing the prevailing microbiota associated with different foods generally consumed without any cooking, were identified and characterized in vitro for some functional properties, such as acid-bile tolerance and antigenotoxic activity. In particular, 22 Lactobacillus plantarum strains and 14 yeasts were studied. The gastro-intestinal tract tolerance of all...

The radix of Scutellaria baicalensis (SB) is a herb widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat metabolic diseases. Several main components, including baicalin and wogonoside, possess anti-dyslipidemia, anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects. We hypothesized that co-administration of SB extract and metformin exerts a better effect on obesity-induced insulin resistance and lipid metabol...

the study of biochemical characteristics and metabolic activity of lactobacilli is necessary for selecting strains to be used as starter cultures for bread production. in this study, biochemical characteristics, acidification and probiotic properties of lactobacillus strains (lactobacillus plantarum, l. curvatus, l. paralimentarius) isolated from traditional sourdoughs were evaluated. all three...

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is highly effective in reversing obesity and associated diabetes. Recent observations in humans suggest a contributing role of increased circulating bile acids in mediating such effects. Here we use a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model and compare metabolic remission when bile flow is diverted through a gallbladder anastomosis to jejunum, ileum or duodenum (s...
