Here, we report the complete and annotated genome sequence of the probiotic Enterococcus faecalis Symbioflor 1 clone DSM 16431, included in a commercial probiotic product used for more than 50 years without any reports of infection. This sequence will provide new insights into the biology of this nonpathogenic and probiotic microorganism.

This study was aimed to determine nutritional value of lowland tidal grass fermented by probiotic microorganisms. This study used a completely randomized design and investigated two factors, namely varieties of lowland tidal grass (kumpai tembaga (Ischaemum rugosum), kumpai minyak (Hymenachne amplexicaulis) and kumpai padi (Oryza rufipogon)) and probiotic microorganism concentration (0.3, 0.5, ...

The isolated and identified bacteria from curd sample are of spp. Lactobacillus. The bacteria of this spp. are lactic acid producers. These spp. resembles to Lactobacillus acidophilus. A probiotic is a microorganism known to be friendly and beneficial to its host when consumed. In today's time, probiotics are a very popular subject of research among scientists and pharmaceutical companies .Due ...

The aim of the present study was to describe the beneficial health effects of probiotic bacteria, manifested by inhibition of growth of pathogen microorganism strains and that of their colonization of the gastrointestinal tract of humans. The primordial mode of action by which a probiotic eradicates a pathogen can be facilitated by the production of antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocins...

UNLABELLED A dried tomato-flavored probiotic cream cheese (P) containing Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37 was developed for the purpose of this study. The same product, but without probiotic addition (C) was used as control. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris were used as lactic starter cultures. Chemical composition analyses and sensory tests were performed o...

Probiotic bacteria, according to the definition adopted by the World Health Organization in 2002, are live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit to the host. Recent studies show that the same probiotic strain produced and/or preserved under different storage conditions, may present different responses regarding their susceptibility to the adverse co...

Some morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of the probiotic species lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus reuteri are presented in work. This species, according to literature sources, were isolated from normal human microbiota, other members class Mammalia, as well broilers sourdough. The study Internet sources identified importance using different strains L. modern dietary ...

Gut microflora is considered very important for maintenance of human health. The inherent growth of these microorganisms is also related to diet. Lactobacillus and bifidobacteria are of prime importance in this respect. Milk and fermented dairy products are considered as very good source of these microorganisms. Thus, an investigation is carried out to isolate and characterize a potential probi...
