Our study was conducted on Swiss albino mice in order to know the effect of probiotics or biotherapeutic agents, and suggest the different therapeutic possibilities of intestinal complications related to the presence of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium; Reference strains, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp, bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei in combination with Bifidobacterium sp. were tested for their health benefits. The number of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium decreases in intestine, in the stomach and in the liver for group 2, 3 in case of preventive treatment and group 4, 5 in case of a therapeutic treatment due to the use of a cuRure of probiotics, in comparison with group 1 where we recorded a high number. The bio-therapeutic treatment was finally confirmed by macroscopic and microscopic observations of different target organs before and after treatment for the experiment period.展开更多

Under a microwave power of 400 W and irradiation length of 3 min, a mutated strain W4-3-9 with high-yield L-lactic acid was obtained by screening. Compared with the starting strain X1-12, the L-lactic acid production of W4-3-9 was increased by 58.0% at a concentration of 115.8 g/L. The strain maintained the capability of producing a high L-lactic acid level after 10 generations. Cell surface morphology and DNA structures of parental and mutated strains were observed by atomic force microscopy （ AFM ）. Amplified fragment length polymorphism （AFLP） analysis suggested the difference in AFLP band pattern between the mutated and non-mutated strains. Sequencing and BLAST analysis revealed that the catalytic site of lactate dehydrogenase （DHL） was changed due to the microwave induced mutation.展开更多

These microbial biofilms have been implicated in corrosion of metals, bacterial attachment to prosthetic devices, fouling of heat exchange surfaces, toxicant immobilization, and fouling of ship hulls. In this paper, data on EPS production and the effect of EPS on corrosion of steel produced by Lactobacillus fermentum Ts are presented and discussed. The Lactobacillus fermentum Ts strain was isolated from types of Bulgarian rye flour. It was tested for its ability to produce exopolysaccharides when cultivated in a media containing 10% sucrose, 10% fructose and 10% maltose. The study of the corrosive stability of steel samples was conducted on the gravimetrique method. The rate of corrosion, the degree of protection, and coefficient of protection have been calculated. The structure of layer over steel plates was analysed by SEM （scanning electron microscopy） JSM 5510. It could be underlined that 10% sucrose and 10% maltose in the media stimulated the process of protection of corrosion.展开更多
