Bio prospecting of Riboflavin producing bacteria from different riboflavin enriched food sources

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
Riboflavin is an essential, water-soluble vitamin (B2) and a component of basic cellular metabolism. The aim of the present study is to isolate and characterize riboflavin producing bacteria from different food sources. Ten different riboflavin enriched food sources were collected from Vellore district. ...

Probiotic supplementation affects IGF-1 and leptin levels in Nile tilapia hepatopancreatic tissue

This work aimed to assess the effect of the probiotic strain, Lactobacillus plantarum, on the levels of leptin, IGF-1 and their receptors on the hepatopancreatic tissues of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and then correlate fish growth performance and gut microbiological parameters. Fish juveniles (...

Production, characterization and kinetic model of biosurfactant produced by lactic acid bacteria

BACKGROUND Biosurfactants are surface active molecules produced by microorganisms which have the ability to disrupt the plasma membrane. Biosurfactant properties are important in the food, pharmaceu tical and oil industries. Lactic acid bacteria can produce cell-bound and excreted biosurfactants. RESULTS...

Efecto antifúngico y antimicotoxigénico de Lactobacillus plantarum CRL 778 a diferentes valores de actividad de agua
Antifungal and antimycotoxigenic effect of Lactobacillus plantarum CRL 778 at different water activity values

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (2), 2019
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by filamentous fungi with high impact Lactic acid bacteria; in food safety due to its toxicity. In the last decade, the presence of OTA was widely reported in different foods. In this study, the ability of Lactobacillus (L.) plantarum CRL 778 to control growth a...

Lactobacillus plantarum as a malolactic starter culture in winemaking: a new (old) player?

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is a process in winemaking responsible for the conversion of L-malic acid to L-lactic acid and CO2, which reduces the total acidity, improves the biological stability, and modifies the aroma profile of wine. MLF takes place during or after alcoholic fermentation and is carri...

Seleção e aplicação de bactérias láticas produtoras de folato para obtenção de um leite fermentado bioenriquecido e avaliação de biodisponibilidade do folato produzido

A deficiência de folato é um problema de saúde pública que vem sendo combatido através da fortificação obrigatória de ácido fólico. Entretanto, a ingestão excessiva pode causar efeitos colaterais indesejados. A forma natural da vitamina produzida por algumas cepas de bactérias láticas pode s...

Potencial efeito preventivo do Lactobacillus acidophilus e Lactobacillus plantarum em pacientes com pólipos ou câncer colorretal

Arq. gastroenterol; 55 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Many studies have been done on the biology of its formation as well as its treatment in recent years. One of the factors involved in the formation or treatment of this malignancy can be attributed to the microbial flo...

Combined effect of bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum ST8SH and vancomycin, propolis or EDTA for controlling biofilm development by Listeria monocytogenes

Rev. argent. microbiol; 50 (1), 2018
The Listeria monocytogenes strains selected in the present study exhibited similar behavior in biofilm formation, independently of the tested conditions (bacteriocin from L. plantarum ST8SH, vancomycin, propolis (a natural antimicrobial product) and EDTA (chelating agent)), individual or in associations....

Action time and feed frequency of Lactobacillus plantarum for Nile tilapia

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o tempo de ação do Lactobacillus plantarum no trato intestinal, assim como em qual frequência esse probiótico deve ser oferecido para tilápia-do-nilo (Oreochomis niloticus). Quarenta e oito tilápias foram alimentadas com ou sem probiótico, durante 14 dias. Ap...

Screening and characterization of lactic acid bacterial strains that produce fermented milk and reduce cholesterol levels

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To screen for and characterize lactic acid bacteria strains with the ability to produce fermented milk and reduce cholesterol levels. Methods The strains were isolated from traditional fermented milk in China. In vitro and in vivo evaluation of cholesterol-reduction were used to iden...
