This study was to isolate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from different dairy and non-dairy sources and to evaluate the probiotic potential of the isolated microorganism(s). Sixteen Lactobacillus isolates viz. seven human (LHI), six dairy (LMI) and three from kimchi (LKI) were subjected to screening for probiotic attributes: simulated stomach deudenum passage, bile salt hydrolase; cell surface hydr...

Fermentation extracts from fungi isolated from vineyard ecosystems were tested for antimicrobial activities against a set of test microorganisms, including five food-borne pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus EP167, Acinetobacter baumannii (clinically isolated), Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, Escherichia coli O157:H7 (CECT 5947) and Candida albicans MY1055) and two probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus p...

Blue green algae also called cyanobacteria are considered to be the photosynthetic prokaryotes. Their similarities with both higher plants and simple bacteria have made them ideal model systems for intensive research in varied spheres of biology. Their role in nitrogen fixation is well known but their role as prebiotics to support the growth of probiotic bacteria is an upcoming field of study. ...

Probiotic milk is a class of fermented that possesses health-promoting effects, not only due to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) presence but potentially also yeast activity. Hence, aim this work was isolate and select yeasts from spontaneous fermentations be used as inoculum, together with LAB, for manufacturing probiotic acidic low-alcohol milk. Six species were detected fermentation. A screeni...

Probiotics are digestive tract microorganisms that, when taken orally, beneficial to the health of their host. Probiotics; It is human origin, not being pathogenic and toxigenic, holding on intestinal cell epithelium, having antimicrobial properties, resistant gastric acid bile a positive effect host, it provides inhibition microorganisms, improves digestibility food by improving gastrointestin...

Selenium (Se) is considered as an essential element for human body. Selenized probiotic fermented milk drink (DOOGH) as a functional beverage to increase Se available in body. The predominate sugar, protein and mineral ion of Iranian yoghurt drink (DOOGH) are lactose, casein and calcium, respectively. Different levels of  Selenium (2.5 – 3- 3,5-  4 and 4.5) is prepared and its suitability based...

Probiotics are living microorganisms providing health beneficial effect to the host (1). Probiotics have been used for the treatment or prevention of various diseases related to diarrhea (2), cholesterol (3) immune function (4), and inflammatory bowel disease (5). In addition, recent study also presents that probiotic bacteria in the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus genera are able to have the...

The selection of potential probiotic strains that possess the physiological capacity performing successfully in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a critical challenge. Probiotic microorganisms must tolerate deleterious effects various stresses to survive passage and function human GIT. Adhesion intestinal mucosa also an important aspect. Recently, numerous studies have been performed concerning e...

The purpose of this study was to produce a non-dairy functional beverage containing Lacticaseibacillus casei, passion fruit juice, and yam flour. physical chemical characteristics, consumer acceptance, viability L. casei during storage time, resistance in vitro simulated gastrointestinal tract conditions were investigated. beverages considered good sources fiber well accepted their aroma, color...

The complete genome of probiotic Escherichia coli strain G3/10 is presented here. In addition, the probiotic E. coli strains G1/2, G4/9, G5, G6/7, and G8 are presented in draft form. These six strains together comprise the probiotic product Symbioflor 2 (DSM 17252).
