Lactobacillus fermentum (PCC®) supplementation and gastrointestinal and respiratory-tract illness symptoms: a randomised control trial in athletes [PDF]
BACKGROUND Probiotics purportedly reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal and upper respiratory-tract illness by modulating commensal microflora. Preventing and reducing symptoms of respiratory and gastrointestinal illness are the primary reason that dietary

Two Different Tetracycline Resistance Mechanisms, Plasmid-Carried tet(L) and Chromosomally Located Transposon-Associated tet(M), Coexist in Lactobacillus sakei Rits 9 [PDF]
Lactobacillus sakei is extensively used as functional starter culture in fermented meat products. One of the safety criteria of a starter culture is the absence of potentially transferable antibiotic resistance determinants.

Comparative Characterization of Spirosomes Isolated from Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus buchneri [PDF]
AbstractSpirosomes, cytoplasmic fine spirals, were isolated and purified from Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 8287, L. fermentum F‐1, and L. buchneri ATCC 4005, and their morphological, biochemical, and immunological properties were investigated. The spirosomes of these lactobacilli were morphologically indistinguishable from one another, and they had the ...

Encapsulation of Lactobacillus fermentum K73 by Refractance Window drying [PDF]
AbstractThe purpose of this work was to model the survival of the microorganism and the kinetics of drying during the encapsulation ofLactobacillus fermentumK73 by Refractance Window drying. A whey culture medium with and without addition of maltodextrin were used as encapsulation matrices. The microorganism with the encapsulation matrices was dried at
