Brief Summary
|
Human
beings consume a significant number of pathogens every day, primarily bacteria.
For several decades, probiotic microorganisms have been utilized in several
diets due to their positive effects on human health. The Agriculture Organization of the United
States and the World Health Organization defined probiotics in 2001 as bacteria that, when
given to a host at adequate levels, improve their health. Regarding probiotics,
Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are the two most frequently used genera.
These bacteria are generally thought of as harmless due to their ability to
survive in the body to cure and prevent diseases, unlike the usual pathogens.
Along with that, these microorganisms have played a vital role in the process
of fermenting milk and food preservation for many years. B. coagulans is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, and motile bacterium.
The optimum growth temperature ranges from 35 to 50 °C. The optimum growth
pH is 5.5-6.5. The bacteria are facultative anaerobic, and ferment maltose,
mannitol, raffinose, sucrose and trehalose with production of acid
but not gas. Due to the large amount of lactic acid produced in metabolism, B.
coagulans is frequently reported to cause spoilage of dairy products,
vegetables or fruits. The
spores of B. coagulans can resist gastric acid to reach the small
intestine, where they can germinate and propagate. The average time from oral
administration to germination is 4-6 h. Approximately 85% of the spores reach
the intestine. After a single oral administration, B. coagulans is
excreted in faeces for about 7 days. Therefore, in order to achieve long-term
treatment, the spores of B. coagulans must be orally ingested daily. |
