Specific Antigens of Lactobacillus acidophilus

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...

Clinical Efficacy of Dds - 1 Lactobacillus Acidophilus

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this white paper is to present a comprehensive review of literature regarding the clinical and laboratory evidence behind Lactobacillus acidophilus on supporting health, with a focus on the DDS-1 strain. Discovered in 1959, the DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus has been used in numerous laboratory, animal, and human clinical studies, and has been shown to have a po...

Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus plantarum occur naturally in the human

Degradation of thymidine by Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Whole cells of Lactobacillus acidophilus are capable of degrading thymidine to thymine, suggesting the presence of thymidine phosphorylase (or thymidine hydrolase). This activity was also demonstrated in cell-free extracts.

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...
