Fermentation based on Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) hold great promise for the management of a shrimp biowaste. Although shrimp biowaste is usually dried on beaches it encourages not only environmental pollution but also reduces the recoverable components. Experiments were carried out to test the Paediococcus bacteria for recovery of chitin and carotenoids. Paediococcus acidilactici ATCC 8042 was ...

The present study aims to investigate the probiotic nature of Pediococcus acidilactici MTCC5101 by an in vitro assay of bacterial adherence to intestinal epithelial cells of human gastrointestinal (GI) tract using Caco-2 cell line. Further to assess the in vivo survival in the GI tract, oral feeding was carried out with the help of 10 healthy volunteers. The effect on wellness was assessed by s...

Effects of starter cultures, Lactobacillus sake and Pediococcus acidilactici, on the survival of Yersinia enterocolitica were studied in Turkish dry sausage (sucuk). Inoculated Y. enterocolitica (approximately 5.0 log CFU/ g) was eliminated completely in sausages by L. sake (about 7.0 log CFU/g) and P. acidilactici (about 7.0 log CFU/g) by the 3rd d of fermentation but was not totally eliminate...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Pediococcus acidilactici and folic acid (FA) and their combinations on growth performance, haematological parameters and non-specific immune response of Acipenser nudiventris. 210 individuals (initial body weight: 12.84± 1.53g) were fed seven practical diets: the basal diet as the control diet was supplemented with two levels of P <...

the present study investigates the possibility of enriching adult artemia franciscana with singular or combined administration of pediococcus acidilactici and fructooligosaccharide (fos). the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four treatments, including synbiotic, p. acidilactici +fos (t1), probiotic, p. acidilactici (t2), prebiotic, fos (t3) and control (t4). to ev...

The effect of Pediococcus acidilactici M76 (lactic acid bacteria) isolated from makgeolli on mice fed a high fat diet was investigated to clarify the lipid lowering function. C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into a normal diet (ND) group, high fat diet (HD) group, HD plus Pediococcus acidilactici DSM 20284 reference strain (PR) group, and HD plus Pediococcus acidilactici M76 strain (PA)...

The objective was to compare the effectiveness of combining Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 with three lactic acid bacteria on the fermentation, aerobic stability and nutritive value of corn silage. Freshly chopped whole plant corn was untreated or treated with L. buchneri 40788 paired with Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici, or Pediococcus pentosaceus. L. buchneriwas added to achie...

The diversity of lactic acid bacteria associated with Hussuwa fermentation, a Sudanese fermented sorghum food, was studied using a polyphasic taxonomical approach. Predominant strains could be well characterised based on a combination of phenotypic tests and genotypic methods such as ARDRA, rep-PCR and RAPD-PCR, as well as 16S rRNA gene sequencing of representative strains. Thus, the majority (...

BACKGROUND Bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria are commonly used as natural protective cultures. Among them, strains of the genus Pediococcus are particularly interesting for their ability to produce pediocin, a broad spectrum antimicrobial peptide with a strong antagonistic activity against the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Furthermore, there is increasing interest in isol...
