This study was carried out to examine aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) removal ability of four strains of lactic acidbacteria (LAB). Three indigenous (Lactobacillus rhamnosus TMU094, Lactobacillus fermentum TMU121and Pedioccus pentosaceus TMU457) and a non-indigenous (Labacillus rhamnosus PTCC1637) isolateswere studied. The strains were incubated with (AFB1) at different time. The toxin residual in the supe...

Two strains of lactobacilli that initiate dental caries in conventional animals were exained for their physiological and serological characteristics. The strain designated V CL-25 was identified as Lactobacillus fermentum and belonged to serological group F. The strain designated IV CL-37 was a Lactobacillus salivarius, but it could not be further identified as either of the known subspecies, n...

Four laboratory sourdough fermentations, initiated with wheat or spelt flour and without the addition of a starter culture, were prepared over a period of 10 days with daily back-slopping. Samples taken at all refreshment steps were used for determination of the present microbiota. Furthermore, an extensive metabolite target analysis of more than 100 different compounds was performed through a ...

A locus encoding two repetitive proteins that have LPXTG cell wall anchoring signals from Lactobacillus fermentum BR11 has been identified by using an antiserum raised against whole L. fermentum BR11 cells. The first protein, Rlp, is similar to the Rib surface protein from Streptococcus agalactiae, while the other protein, Mlp, is similar to the mucus binding protein Mub from Lactobacillus reut...

Forty-two healthy women were randomized to receive one of three encapsulated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 plus Lactobacillus fermentum RC-14 probiotic dosage regimens or L. rhamnosus GG by mouth each day for 28 days. However, the vaginal flora, assessed by Nugent scoring, was only normal in 40% of the cases, and 14 patients had asymptomatic bacterial vaginosis. Treatment with L. rhamnosus GR-1/...

this study was carried out to examine aflatoxin b1 (afb1) removal ability of four strains of lactic acidbacteria (lab). three indigenous (lactobacillus rhamnosus tmu094, lactobacillus fermentum tmu121and pedioccus pentosaceus tmu457) and a non-indigenous (labacillus rhamnosus ptcc1637) isolateswere studied. the strains were incubated with (afb1) at different time. the toxin residual in the supe...

The complete nucleotide sequence (2389 bp) of the cryptic plasmid pLF1311 from Lactobacillus fermentum VKM1311 was determined. DNA sequence analysis revealed the putative coding regions for a replicative protein (RepB), its repressor (RepA) and double-stranded (dso) and single-stranded (sso) origins. pLF1311 belongs to the pE194 family of rolling circle-replicating plasmids. A derivative of pLF...

Lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus species and yeasts are involved in the fermentation of cassava dough into agbelima. Microbial interactions within and between these groups of microorganisms were investigated in addition to the survival of five enteric pathogens inoculated into agbelima under various conditions. Nine out of 10 cultures of lactic acid bacteria isolated at the end of agbelima fermen...

BACKGROUND Among the enteric pathogens, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli are important causes of diarrhea in children in both developing and industrialized countries. Some Lactobacillus species are commonly used as probiotics, with effects especially against acute diarrhea in childhood. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to explore antimicrobial activity of Lactobacillus strains isolated from...

Miang is a kind of traditional fermented tea leaves, widely consumed in northern Thailand as a snack. It contains several kinds of Lactobacilli spp. The aim of this study was to isolate strains of Lactobacillus fermentum from miang and to investigate their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The agar spot and well assays were used for determination of antibacterial power. The antibacteria...
