Characterization of two Bacillus probiotics

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to characterize two Bacillus probiotic preparations, namely, Enterogermina and Biosubtyl. Results demonstrate that the two commercial preparations of probiotic bacteria purported to have B subtilis instead contain Bacillus species that are closely and distantly related to B subtilis, namely, Biosubtyl and Enterogermina, respectively. The result is medically relevant and raises the issue of whether any nonpathogenic, gram-positive microorganism can act as a probiotic agent.

Characterizations of Bacillus probiotics available for human use

Article Abstract:

Five commercially available Bacillus probiotic strains consisting of Bactisubtil, Enterogermina, Biosubtyl Nha Trang, Biosubtyl Da Lat and Subtyl, were characterized for determining their potential attributes that would account for their claimed probiotic properties and are available for human use. Evidence was provided for the colonization, immunostimulation and antimicrobial activity, which facilitate the hypothesis that the organisms have a potential probiotic effect.

Screening for Bacillus isolates in the broiler gastrointestinal tract

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted where the isolation of 237 presumptive gut-associated Bacillus spp. isolates that were obtained by heat and ethanol treatment of fecal material from organically reared broilers followed by aerobic plating. The result suggests that some of the sporeformers isolated have the potential to persist in or transiently associate with the complex gut ecosystem.
