Probiotics are the new buzz words these days, simply because we are learning more about their incredible benefits to digestive health and applying the knowledge to ward off illnesses and lead to longer, more productive lives. Probiotics are typically used in the same sentence (or two) with our immune system; the relationship between both are inextricably linked and they function together to keep our internal systems in check. This is mainly due to there being 70% of our immune system in the…

Among the 61 bacterial genera, 14 were more than 1% of the total bacteria present in the rumen e.g. Prevotella (21.98), Bacteroides (11.91), Clostridium (6.14), Lactobacillus (2.75), Parabacteroides (2.51), Eubacterium (2.33), Ruminococcus (1.99), Butyrivibrio (1.14), Bacillus (1.72), Blautia (1.60), Porphyromonas (1.00), Pseudoflavonifractor (1.26), Streptococcus (1.71) and Kineococcus (1.14). The four bacterial…

lipases, and pore-forming factors. [1] One species of Propionibacterium, P. freudenreichii which is used in Swiss cheese manufacturing, is observed to be dependent on free amino acids and peptides made in the cheese by casein degradation of Lactobacillus proteolytic enzymes. It produces carbon dioxide, which is the substance that makes the holes in swiss cheese. The propionic acid produced from breaking down glucose is what gives Swiss cheese its characteristic…

All living organisms on the Earth have to eat food in order to survive, grow, respond to their environment, and reproduce. Different organisms require different food due to their physiological needs. Thus, the food that organisms get to eat has great impacts on them both mentally and physically. Furthermore, the difference will also impact the ecology of their living environments and vice versa. Firstly, the Nova documentary named “Rat Attack” shows that organisms such as black rats have the…

you can try to kill it out. You can use yogurt in it. However, the research about yogurt for yeast infection is limited. You do not need to worry about believe in it because some evidence reveals the truth. How It Work? Yogurt that contained Lactobacillus acidophilus can help you to prevent and treat this disease. When the population of the Candida is over control, the L. Acidophilus can…

bacteria are more resistant than obligate anaerobes and that gram-positive bacteria are more resistant than gram-negative bacteria(7). These microbes are usually gram positive and regularly include Enterococcus faecalis, Propionibacterium spp, Lactobacillus spp, Streptococcus spp, and Actinomyces spp (4). Other microbes include Candida albicans, and gram negative bacteria, such as F. nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, and Campylobacter rectus (8). These persistent bacteria are very hardy, as…

Conclusion: The present study indicated that low intensity ultrasound can improve fermentation of Lactobacillus casei subsp.casei ATTC 39392. The following conclusions were obtained from this study: I. Low intensity ultrasound increased production of lactic acid, cell reproduction and substrate consumption by Lactobacillus casei subsp.casei ATTC 39392. II. Low intensity ultrasound increased growth indexes such as specific growth rate and logarithmic phase duration…

In the past decade, many studies have been conducted to investigate the role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of disease, with mixed results being reported on the efficacy of probiotics11. In addition, probiotics have become increasingly popular with more and more probiotic products released on the market every year. Specifically, they are available as capsules and dairy based food supplements (especially yogurt) sold in health food stores and supermarkets. Despite the many health…

Digestion is the process of breaking down food by mechanical and enzymatic action in the alimentary canal into substances that can be used by the body. The process of digestion is the way that the body obtains nutrients, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins necessary to maintain life. Carbohydrates are comprised of complex sugars, which the body will convert to simple sugars for use in numerous ways. Fats are comprised of fatty acids and glycerol. Proteins are made up of many types of…

Nosocomial infection prevention is a priority concern for all healthcare workers. A common nosocomial infection within hospital critical care units is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Prevention of VAP is crucial since it is believed to increase mortality and length of hospitalization. As with all infections, prevention, early detection, and treatment is required to reduce mortality and decrease costs associated with VAP. Prevention of VAP through research of pathophysiology,…
