ISAPP was created in 2000 by a group of professional scientists at a Fermented Foods and Health Meeting in New York. [3] This group recognized the lack of an organization that brought together the multidisciplinary scientists from fields such as microbiology, medicine, nutrition, food science, immunology, biochemistry and nutrition, who are conducting research on probiotics and prebiotics.
He stressed two important claims for probiotics: the viable nature of probiotics and the capacity to help with intestinal balance. In the following decades, intestinal lactic-acid bacterial species with alleged health-beneficial properties were introduced as probiotics, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus , Lactobacillus casei , and Lactobacillus ...
Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut flora. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Probiotics are considered generally safe to consume , but may cause bacteria - host interactions and unwanted side effects in rare cases.
Based on the growth profiles under different O 2 concentrations, the Bifidobacterium species were classified into four classes: O 2-hypersensitive, O 2-sensitive, O 2-tolerant, and microaerophilic. The primary factor responsible for aerobic growth inhibition is proposed to be the production of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in the growth medium.
A poster is a large sheet that is placed either on a public space to promote something or on a wall as decoration. [1] [2] [3] Typically, posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. Posters are designed to be both eye-catching and informative. Posters may be used for many ...
Lactobacillus is a genus of gram-positive, aerotolerant anaerobes or microaerophilic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria. [2] [3] Until 2020, the genus Lactobacillus comprised over 260 phylogenetically, ecologically, and metabolically diverse species; a taxonomic revision of the genus assigned lactobacilli to 25 genera (see § Taxonomy below).
[2] [3] Perhaps the oldest use of a living medicine is the use of leeches for bloodletting, though living medicines have advanced tremendously since that time. Examples of living medicines include cellular therapeutics (including immunotherapeutics), phage therapeutics, and bacterial therapeutics, a subset of the latter being probiotics.
B. bifidum BGN4 has been used in health products and dairy production since 2000. It offers multiple health benefits, including supporting immune health, reducing IBS symptoms, and aiding in eczema treatment. [18] [19] Research has also suggested anti-cancer properties and interactions with plant-based compounds. Recent genomic studies ...
