Probiotic is considered as a remedy to solve disease problem in shrimp aquaculture. Shrimp body and environment bacterial flora are recommended as reliable source for extracting of beneficial bacteria. Therefore, 5000 pieces of post larvae of Penaeus monodon were distributed equally in 4 tanks in probiotic and antibiotic free condition up to juvenile. Then microbiological samples from digestiv...

microencapsulation as one of the most modern methods has remarkable effects on probiotic survival. in this study lactobacillus casei (atcc 39392) and bifidobacterium bifidum (atcc 29521) were encapsulated using calcium alginate-gelatinized starch, chitosan coating and inulin via emulsion technique, and were incubated in simulated gastric juice (along with pepsin, ph=1.5) and simulated intestina...

the probiotic effects of two gram positive bacteria, bacillus subtilis and bacillus licheniformis, were examined on growth performance, body composition and survival rate of artemia urmiana. three diets containing 102 (t1), 104 (t2), 106 (t3) cfu of probiotics g feed-1 and a control diet (c) without probiotic were used through a completely randomized design (each with three replicates). the use...

Objective(s):Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by bacteria is one of the most frequent infections in human population. Inappropriate use of antibiotics, often leads to appearance of drug resistance in bacteria. However, use of probiotic bacteria has been suggested as a partial replacement. This study was aimed to assess the antagonistic effects of Lactobacillus standard strains against bacte...

introduction phytic acid is a main compound in all plant seeds and contains 60 to 70% of total phosphorus in plant. monogastric animals cannot use phytatephosphorus because of low phytase activity in their digestive tract. thus in addition to unabsorbed mineral phosphorus, phytate phosphorus in fecal ofmonogastric animals may affect water and environment pollution. it is suggested to use of phy...

this study was accomplished to investigate the effect of artemia urmiana nauplii enriched with pediococcus acidilactici as probiotic on growth performance and survival rate of great sturgeon, huso huso.  artemia nauplii were enriched with p. acidilactici at a final concentration of 1010 cfu ml-1 in three time dependent treatments as 3 h (t3), 6 h (t6), 9 h (t9), and one non-enriched artemia as ...

There is complex and ubiquitous interface between the probiotic and resident bacteria (human microbiota) at various mucosal sites and the mucosal immune system. The probiotic bacteria are normally exogenous and transient as the resident bacterial communities of the human body are relatively constant companions of the human body and the mucosal immune system. This interface may result in local a...

The aim of this study was to perform the microbiological analysis of quality of 25 probiotic products, available on the Polish market. Analysis of bacterial viability in probiotic products showed that not all of these preparations possess a suitable number of bacteria. Moreover, some of the tested probiotic products contained bacterial strains other than those declared by the manufacturer. All ...

BACKGROUND Probiotic bacteria have a beneficial effect on intestinal inflammation. In this study, we have examined the effect of lactic acid and commensal Gram positive (+) bacteria conditioned media (CM) on tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) release and the mechanisms involved. METHODS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced TNF-alpha secretion by peripheral blood mononuclear cells or the THP...
