Accurate enumeration of bacterial count in probiotic formulation is imperative to ensure that the product adheres to regulatory standards and citation in consumer product label. Standard methods like plate count, can enumerate only replicating bacterial population under selected culture conditions. Viable but non culturable bacteria (VBNC) retain characteristics of living cells and can regain c...

The bio-materials of four marine mangrove medicinal plants viz., Aegiceras Corniculatum (AGC), Excoecariaagallocha (EA), Rhizophoramucronata (RM) and Xylocarpusgranatum (XG) are extracted with methanol and hexane. These extracts are submitted to the antibacterial activity towards the strains:Bacillus puvuilis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus licheniformis,...

OBJECTIVES Currently, probiotics are increasingly used as the alternative to antibiotics as well as the preventive measures in humans. In particular, probiotics occupy a key position in the treatment of antibiotics-associated intestinal dysbiosis. A spore-forming microorganism lactobacillus Bacillus coagulans is one of the most promising probiotics. However, some of its pharmacological effects ...

Bacillus coagulans 2-6 is an efficient producer of lactic acid. The genome of B. coagulans 2-6 has the smallest genome among the members of the genus Bacillus known to date. The frameshift mutation at the start of the d-lactate dehydrogenase sequence might be responsible for the production of high-optical-purity l-lactic acid.

INTRODUCTION The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr (VI)) and lead (II) (Pb (II)) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial genera such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas help in bioremediation of these heavy metals and some of the species of Bacillus are proven probiotics. However, no study has been conducted on Bacillus coagulans, which is a proven ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate CYP1A interaction of crude extracts (ethanolic, methanolic, hydromethanolic & aqueous) of Withania somnifera and its principal phytoconstituents (withaferin-A and withanolide-A) in rat and human liver microsomes. Methods: In vitro study were carried out in both rat & human liver microsomes while, in vivo CYP1A interaction potential was investi...

Here we announce a 3.0-Mb assembly of the Bacillus coagulans Hammer strain, which is the type strain of the species within the genus Bacillus. Genomic analyses based on the sequence may provide insights into the phylogeny of the species and help to elucidate characteristics of the poorly studied strains of Bacillus coagulans.

D-[alpha-14C]]glucosyl phosphorylpolyprenol ([ 14C]Glc-P-prenol) was formed from UDP-D-[14C]glucose in each of the membrane systems obtained from Bacillus coagulans AHU 1631 and AHU 1634 and two Bacillus megaterium strains. Membranes of these B. coagulans strains, which possess beta-D-glucosyl branches on the repeating units in their major cell wall teichoic acids, were shown to catalyze the tr...
