Analysis of global temporal gene expression by human intestinal cells when exposed to Lactobacillus acidophilus revealed induction of immune-related pathways and NF-κB target genes after a 1-h exposure, compared to a 4- or 8-h exposure. Additionally, an L. acidophilus derivative expressing covalently bound flagellin resulted in increased induction of il8, cxc1, and cxcl2 compared to the parent ...

Horáčková Š., Sedláčková P., Sluková M., Plocková M. (2014): Influence of whey, whey component and malt on the growth and acids production of lactobacilli in milk. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 526–531. The effect of whey powder, whey protein concentrate, caseinomacropeptide, and malt addition into milk on the growth and acid production of lactobacilli (Lactobacillus casei Lafti L-26, Lactobacillus a...

The present study describes the growth of the very well-known probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM on different carbohydrates. Furthermore, recombinant production of putative moonlighting proteins elongation factor G and pyruvate kinase from this bacterium is described. For further and detailed interpretation of the data presented here, please see the research article "Mucin- and ...

AIMS The objective of this study was to assess in vitro, whether heat-killed (HK) lactic acid bacteria cells and fractionations of HK cells could suppress the viability of human cancer cells and inhibit the cytotoxicity associated with oxidative stress. METHODS AND RESULTS Among the strains, the HK cells of Lactobacillus acidophilus 606 and Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 exhibited the most prof...

We present the 1,956,699-bp draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus acidophilus strain ATCC 4356. Comparative genomic analysis revealed 99.96% similarity with L. acidophilus NCFM NC_006814.3 and 99.97% with La-14 NC_021181.2 genomes.

A new Lactobacillus acidophilus strain, FSI4, isolated from yogurt, was isolated and sequenced in our laboratory. Our data, although supportive of previous conclusions regarding the remarkable stability of L. acidophilus species, indicate accumulating mutations in commercial L. acidophilus strains that warrant further study of the effect of damaged genes on the competitiveness of these bacteria...

The objectives of the present study were designed to evaluate the probiotic potential of selected probiotic strains on the growth and gut microflora of Carassius auratus. Standard methods were followed for analyzing Physico-chemical parameters of experimental water. Four different probionts, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sporogenes were incorporated w...

1. The influence of Lactobacillus acidophilus alone or in combination with zinc bacitracin on the performance of laying hens was monitored over a period of 4 months. 2. Lactobacillus acidophilus improved egg production, food conversion and reduced the cholesterol concentration in the eggs, but zinc bacitracin had no effect when administered alone. 3. In combination, bacitracin had an adverse ef...

Intestinal mucosal scrapings (48) were collected from twelve, 6 month old, Large White Yorkshire pigs after slaughter. Isolates (23) that were gram positive rods, were alone subjected to physiological tests (growth at pH: 4.5, 9.5; temperature; 15, 45°C; and NaCl: 2, 6.5%), four isolates exhibited no growth at all conditions studied and were rejected. Biochemical tests on the remaining nineteen...

To assess the effect of probiotic (having Lactobacillus acidophilus) supplementation on pre-ruminant (0-3 months age) buffalo calves, total eight buffalo calves were divided into two groups of four calves in each with completely randomized design (CRD) according to their body weight. One group was the control while the other group was supplemented with bacteria Lactobacillusacidophilus-containi...
