Fixed orthodontic mechanotherapy improves dentofacial aesthetics and provides good occlusal relationships but they also pose a serious challenge for the patient and the clinician in form of enamel decalcification. Fixed appliances not only favor the plaque accumulation at the cervical margins but also beneath bands and brackets. Therefore, decalcification seen around the orthodontic brackets and bands, in the form of white spot lesions, is a negative treatment sequelae seen in more than 50% of…

undergoes hydrolysis to break the bonds between glucose molecules in the starch, forming individual glucose molecules. Hydrolysis: C6H10O5 + H2O ------> C6H12O6 3. The synthesis of polylactic acid requires bacteria or fungi, not enzymes. Hence, lactobacillus bacteria or rhizopus fungi are used…

gastrointestinal disorders (Cryan and O’Mahony, 2011). However, in clinical trials involving rodents and humans, probiotics containing Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum, showed to reduce signs of anxiety and a decrease in serum cortisol concentrations (Cryan and O’Mahony, 2011). Recently examined clinical trials showed that chronic treatment with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, over a month in duration, resulted in subjects having decreased concentrations of corticosterone, reduced…

are also being used in making supplements in health food industry. Other than food production, bacteria are also involved in the processing of teas, coffee and cocoa. The common species of bacteria involved are the lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Lactococcus and Streptococcus.…

1. Problem to be addressed. To study the effect of a paraprobiotic, heat inactivated Lactobacillus gasserei, on the functioning of the central nervous system using mouse models. 2. Background to the problem. The microbial composition of the gut in early life is known to influence the development and functioning of the adult brain, including behavioral functions.

Cyclosis, or the movement of chloroplasts, is generally uniform in rate and direction of movement. In comparison, plant cells are much larger than bacteria. At the same magnification, the elodea cells are much larger and easier to see than the lactobacillus cells. This increase in size is allowed because of the endomembrane system in eukaryotes like plants. The cell wall, composed of cellulose fibers, was the most visible part of the cell by…
