This study describes selective plating methodologies for enumeration of mixed cultures of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei subsp. paracasei and Bifidobacterium lactis in fermented milk based on selective antibiotic-free media. Enumeration of S. thermophilus was performed using M17-lactose. MRS-fructose was suitable for enumera...

This study aimed to analyze the effect of milk fermented with Lactobacillus curvatus SMFM2016-NK on periodontal diseases and gut health in a rat model. To improve Lb. SMFM2016-NK-fermented administration for relieving periodontitis, periodontitis models were treated following 4 wk: 10% skim (normal), + (negative control), rhamnosus GG-fermented (positive (PD+LCFM). Transcriptional analysis infl...

Leuconostoc mesenteroides213M0 was isolated from traditional fermented mare milk airag in Bulgan Aimag, Mongolia. This strain produces a listericidal bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this organism.

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of lactobacillus acidophilus on performance, carcass characteristics, blood parameters, and intestinal microflora of broiler chicks. the dietary treatments were: basal diet as control 1; basal diet plus 1g. kg-1 of a commercial probiotic bioplus2; basal diet plus 10 and 20 g kg-1 fermented milk that contained 2×108 cfu g-1 lactobacillus a...

Leuconostoc mesenteroides406 was isolated from the traditional fermented mare milk airag in Tuv Aimag, Mongolia. This strain produces an antilisterial bacteriocin. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this organism.

Acid resistance of Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains UT 10 and UT 15 were determined in traditional Amasi fermented for 3 days at ambient temperature (ca 30 degrees C) and commercial Amasi fermented at 30 degrees C for 24h and stored at 7 degrees C for 2 days. Escherichia coli O157:H7 counts in commercial Amasi were detected at 2.7 log(10)cfu/ml after 3 days while those in traditional Amasi coul...

The objective of this article was to review existing literature concerning the effects and mechanisms of action of fermented dairy products on serum cholesterol concentrations. Although not without exception, existing evidence from animal and human studies suggests a moderate cholesterol-lowering action of fermented dairy products. Mechanistically, fermented milk has been shown to cause an incr...

as a native fermented dairy drink, doogh is an important industrial product in iran. however, its characteristics have not been completely evaluated. this study evaluated the flow behavior, particle size distribution and stability of non-fat doogh as affected by the row material employed (fresh skim milk or skim milk powder) and the total solids (ts) content of the final drink. the viscosity of...
