background: the effect of probiotic bacteria ( lactobacillus acidophilus and l. casei ) as safe organisms was examined on fungal growth and aflatoxin gene regulation in aspergillus parasiticus . methods: the fungus was cultured in presence of two different concentrations of l. acidophilus and l. casei in mrs broth medium. mycelia dry weight is indicated as criteria to evaluate fungal growth. be...

Extensive information has been accumulated concerning the organic nutrient requirements of lactic acid bacteria. Studies of the inorganic requirements of these organisms have been pursued less vigorously. Several investigations (Woolley, 1941; McLeod and Snell, 1947; Rogosa, 1944) have been undertaken to determine the essentiality of Mn++, Mg++, K+, Fe++, and PO-for Lactobacillus caswi, strain ...

Prebiotik merupakan suatu komponen bahan pangan yang tidak dapat dicerna oleh pen-cernaan manusia, namun dimanfaatkan sebagai nutrisi pertumbuhan bagi microflora usus serta mampu memberikan manfaat kesehatan. Inulin dan fruktooligosakaridan (FOS) adalah jenis prebiotic banyak dikembangkan untuk saat ini. Review ini bertujuan mengetahui (1) potensi inulin FOS prebiotik, (2) bakteri asam laktat t...

Four lactobacilli strains (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacilus casei and Lactobacillus reuteri) were grown in MRS broth and three lactococci strains (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis) were grown in M17 broth. L. reuteri and S. thermophilus were chosen on the basis of the best mea...

Nos últimos anos, o aumento da busca por alternativas medicinais e nutricionais no campo saúde ocasionou a plantas presentes cotidiano população. Consequentemente, diversas pesquisas almejam avaliar potencial benefícios para saúde. Portanto, objetivo do estudo é realizar uma revisão literatura sobre utilização medicinal nutricional planta Casearia sylvestris, popularmente conhecida como erva bu...

AIM OF THE STUDY Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of several types of cancer in vivo, but its effect on cervical cells has not been reported. We incubated cells of the human cervical cell lines Caski and HeLa with extracts of L. casei and investigated its effects on the growth of the cells and possible synergy with anticancer drugs. MATERIAL AND METHO...

Cheddar cheese has been manufactured with Lactobacillus casei Zhang as the dairy starter adjunct. L. casei Zhang had previously been isolated from koumiss collected from Xilin Guole in Inner Mongolia and characterized in detail with regard to their probiotic potential. The addition of L. casei Zhang to Cheddar cheese had no adverse effects on sensory criteria. The cheese made with 0.1, 1 and 2 ...

This study aims to determine whether Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) could relieve liver injury in piglets challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Piglets were randomly allocated into one of the three groups: control, LPS, and L. casei. The control and LPS groups were fed a corn- and soybean meal-based diet, whereas the L. casei group was fed the basal diet supplemented with 6 × 10⁶ cfu/g L. c...
