Bile Tolerance Activity of Probiotic Bacteria (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria)
Abstract: Twenty two strains of each probiotic organisms Lactobacillus (LAB) and Bifidobacteria (BB) were isolated from the faeces of breast-fed infants at the University of Putra, Malaysia. Mann Rogossa and Sharpe (MRS) and Trypticase Phytone Peptone Yeast extract (TPY) were used as selective media for the isolation of these organisms. Resistance to bile is an important characteristic that enables probiotic organisms to survive and grow in the intestinal tract. Six LAB …

Flavonoid Contents and Antioxidant Activity of an Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Medicinal Plant Humulus lupulus
Abstract: Endophytes are symbiotic microorganisms, most often bacteria or fungi, that reside and multiply within plant tissues without inducing visible signs of disease or negatively affecting the host plant. Endophytic bacteria contribute to plant development by stimulating growth, strengthening defence mechanisms, enhancing tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, and facilitating improved nutrient uptake. Endophytic bacteria serve as an important reservoir of bioactive compounds, notably antioxidant molecules, that play a crucial …
