Lactobacillus acidophilus :smiley:i (Benefits (EFFA) (Modern fermentedā¦
Lactobacillus acidophilus
:smiley:i
Fun Facts (Qee)
Used for fermentation of dairy product
Best known as the basis of
Yogurt manufacture
Inhibit growth of harmful bacteria.
No need to see doctor
Increase overall resistance to infection
The bacteria are able to survive the passage through the
very acidic
conditions of the stomach.
Boost Immune fuction
Benefits
(EFFA)
Beneficial bacteria that definitely want living inside small intestine.
Helps digest food, produces vitamins and facilitates digestion.
Helps digestion of dairy products and produces vitamin K, which is essential to proper blood clotting and bone formation and repair.
produce lactase
The enzyme that breaks down the sugar in milk. (People who are lactose intolerant don't produce this enzyme.)
Prevents and treats diarrhea
Relieves Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Crohn's disease
a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus
gut dysbiosis.
also called dysbacteriosis is a term for a microbial imbalance or maladaptation on or inside the body such as an impaired microbiota
Reduces overgrowth of pathogens in digestive tract.
Decreases frequency of vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections.
Increases immune response.
May treat respiratory infections
bronchitis
sinusitis
sinus infection or rhinosinusitis, is inflammation of the sinuses resulting in symptoms. Common signs and symptoms include thick nasal mucus, a plugged nose, and pain in the face
The best probiotics
Fermented foods and drinks containing
lactobacillus acidophilus
and other probiotics are a much more potent choice for incorporating beneficial bacteria into a diet

Modern fermented foods
TRY ME!
Young Coconut Kefir
This delicious beverage is a great way to start your day and can stop sugar cravings.
Essential Duo Culture Starter
Essential Duo contains
L. acidophilus
and becomes the basis for homemade fermented foods.

Metabolism (NADIA)
Grows in low pH (<3.5), anaerobic conditions and undergoes fermentation only.
Similar to the streptococcal ATPase and the H+ inducibility of the operon suggests that it is responsible for an ATP-dependent exclusion of protons in order to maintain cytoplasmic pH (~7
Lack cytochromes, porphyrins, and respiratory enzymes and as a result are unable to undergo any oxidative phosphorylation or respiration
Inhabit environments with high sugar abundance, such as the GI tract in humans and animals, because they utilize sugars as their substrates for fermentation,
Homofermentative which means that the only byproduct it forms from fermentation is lactic acid.
For every one glucose molecule that undergoes fermentation, the energy yield is two ATPs
utilizes aesculin, cellobiose, galactose, lactose, maltose, salicin, sucrose, and trehalose for fermentation.
catabolize large amounts of substrate to generate enough energy for growth
Further classified as a F1F0-type ATPase,based on primary structure and the genetic organization

SIDE EFFECT (ADIQ)
Common side effect include
Gas or Bloating
i
What is gas or bloating?
its usually caused by swallowed air or the breakdown of food through digestion. when gas doesn't pass through belching or flatulence, it can build up in stomach and intestine and lead to bloating
Other cases
Also causes arthritis, skin reaction, stomach cramping, liver infection, stomach rumbling and discomfort
WARNING
Use cautiously in people have stomach disorder
Use cautiously in people who have high fever
Use cautiously in people who have fixed orthodontic appliances, may causes tooth decay
Avoid if allergic or sensitive
Avoid if have an immune problem, it may causes disease
Taxonomy
( Wadh)
Part of kingdom Monera
Division = Firmicutes which can produce endospores
Genus = Lactobacillus
Class= Bacilli
Species = L.Acidophilus
Order = Lactobacillales
Family = Lactobacillaceae
Characteristics
(Luqman Arif)
Carbohydrate fermentation
Ferment the four sugars which is
amygdalin, cellobiose, salicin and sucrose
Growth temperature
No growth at 20 degree celcius or below, and no growth at 48 degree celcius and above. Grows well at 37 degree celcius.
Serology
Serological work have not yet been prepared for the L.acidophilus
group
Distinctive characters
Growth in 2% but not in 4% NaCl or bile salt.
They were 29 organism in this group; 15 strains named Lactobacillus acidphilus and L. bulgaricus, 11 isolated parts of the mammalian gut or form faeces and one from mouth.
Life Cycle
( Aqilah Tarmizi )
Asexual Reproduction
Binary Fission
how does it occurs
daughter chromosomes moves to the opposites poles
cell wall begins to pinch
Bacterium doubles it contents ( DNA replication )
cytoplasm is divided
new cell walls are created
binary fission is completed - 2 separate daughter cells produced
Each generation doubles , causes the population of colonies increase quickly
Genome structure
(Aidiel)
DNA GC content was determined to be 34.71%
Contains no plasmid
Contains no complete prophages (extrachromosomal plasmid)
1864 open reading frame
Contains 1,993,564 nucleotides
Single-stranded DNA
