Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Dental Caries

Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus plantarum occur naturally in the human

Characterization of Rhamnosidases from Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Lactobacilli are known to use plant materials as a food source. Many such materials are rich in rhamnose-containing polyphenols, and thus it can be anticipated that lactobacilli will contain rhamnosidases. Therefore, genome sequences of food-grade lactobacilli were screened for putative rhamnosidases. In the genome of Lactobacillus plantarum, two putative rhamnosidase genes (ram1(Lp) and ram2(L...

Antagonistic activity of a Multi-Functional Gold Standard Chlorhexidine against Lactobacillus acidophilus Isolated from Childhood Caries

Lactobacillus acidophilus—Rutin Interplay Investigated by Proteomics

Dietary polyphenols are bioactive molecules that beneficially affect human health, due to their anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardio-protective and chemopreventive properties. They are absorbed in a very low percentage in the small intestine and reach intact the colon, where they are metabolized by the gut microbiota. Although it is well documented a key role of microbial metabolism in the a...

Acidolin: an antibiotic produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Acidolin was isolated from skimmilk cultured for 48 hours with Lactobacillus acidophilus (CHR. HANSEN's Laboratory strain 2181). It was extracted from the skimmilk with methanol and acetone and was further concentrated and purified by Sephadex G-25 gel filtration, high voltage electrophoresis, and thin-layer chromatography on silica gel. Ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and ma...
