Potentiality of Bacteriocins as the Attachment Inhibitors of HIV-1 gp120
Abstract: It is postulated that some bacteriocin derivatives are consummate candidates to inhibit the binding of HIV gp120 to CD4 T-cell. From the discovery of bacteriocin compounds in 1925 and forth, nearly 300 bacteriocins have been identified. Of various bacteriocins, there are some which have been used successfully for inhibiting both animal and human pathogens. Unfortunately, no large extent research has been found in the development of various bacteriocins as HIV …

Bacteriocin Production and Characterization Obtained from Lactobacillus sakei
Abstract: Natural preservatives such as bacteriocins become an attractive alternative in the substitution of chemical preservatives, which have eventual potential for toxicity and carcinogenic effect. In this study, a bacteriocin was produced from a strain of Lactobacillus sakei, isolated from Italian salami. The data obtained in this paper revealed that the antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin was higher than 85% in the assays using the Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) …

Strain Improvement of Lactobacillus casei Strain Shirota for Production of Bacteriocin and Its Utilization as a Biopreservative
Abstract: Food is a great concern for humans as well as for animals; also because as we buy vegetables and fruits from the market and after some days with or without refrigeration, they start getting spoiled. To minimize the spoilage and make them preserve for a long period, we did this research on preservation of vegetables and fruits using lactobacillus casei isolated from the Yakult and testing in vitro against spoilage …

Isolation and Characterization of Lantibiotic Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria from Ambali, Aged Mango Pickle Probiotics
Abstract: Each year in the US at least 2 million people are sickened with antibiotic resistant infection. The development of antibiotics was one of the most important advances of medicine. Many bacterial infections (e.g. tuberculosis and infected wounds) that previously had no effective treatment and often killed people became treatable with antibiotics, saving millions of lives. Now, because of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, bacterial infections that were once easily …

Application of Some Essential Bacterial Probiotics in Aquaculture: A Review
Abstract: Aquaculture plays an essential role in maintaining food security and sustainable lives for the world’s ever-growing population. Due to the expansion, intensification, and variety of aquaculture methods, aquatic animals confront significant challenges, including disease outbreaks, decreasing output, and risks to the sustainability of the sector. Poor soil conditions in aquaculture cause higher mortality, a higher prevalence of diseases, and lower yields of aquatic organisms. Overfeeding, dead animals, and feces from …

Antibacterial Action of Bacillus coagulans Against Diverse Pathogens and its Relevance as Probiotics
Abstract: Probiotics are living organisms that give benefits to the host organism by improving the intestinal microbial balance. Probiotics have various beneficial effects as it maintains a healthy gut, healthy vaginal flora and boost the immune system. There are different strains of lactic acid bacteria that are used as probiotics but Bacillus coagulans is a good bacterium that is used in the form of probiotic supplements. In the present study, B. …
