Crystalline arrays of proteinaceous subunits forming surface layers (S-layers) are now recognized as one of the most common outermost cell envelope components of prokaryotic organisms. The surface layer protein of Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC4356 is composed of a single species of protein of apparent molecular weight of 43-46 KDa. Considering the Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC4356 having the ...

Lipid-reducing therapies have been widely used for the prevention and treatment on cardiovascular disease. However, common lipid-reducing medications have limited effects and are always accompanied with side effects. Recently, reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease by the administration of lactobacillus has become a focus but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, apolipoprotei...

BACKGROUND The immunomodulative effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria as probiotics have been already demonstrated. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of oral administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus on the immune responses and patterns of cytokine production in the BALB/c mice bearing breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The current study used thirty inbred BALB/c mice,...

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a commercially significant bacterial probiotic, originally isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract and designated Bacillus acidophilus in 1900. Throughout the development of methods to identify and characterise bacteria, L. acidophilus has undergone multiple taxonomic revisions and is now the type species of a phylogenetic subgroup in the highly diverse and h...

Lactic acid bacteria can affect the maturation of immune cells and their products not only in the gut but also on the systemic immune organs such as lymph nodes and spleen. In the present work, we studied the effects of oral administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus on the immune responses of BALB/c mice bearing transplanted breast tumour. Two groups of female inbred BALB/c mice, each contain...

At the 1920 meeting of the Society of American Bacteriologists a paper, published only in abstract form (Sherman, 1921), presented some characteristics of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, differentiating this organism from certain other lactobacilli. Eighteen cultures of Lactobacillus bulgaricus were then studied; a number of Lactobacillus casei; a few cultures from feces, assumed to belong to the Lac...
