dynamics of microbial community during ensiling direct-cut alfalfa with and without lab inoculant and sugar.	to gain deeper insights into the clostridial community dynamics and chemical transformations during the ensiling of alfalfa.	2017	28370869
inhibition of listeria monocytogenes on ready-to-eat meats using bacteriocin mixtures based on mode-of-action.	bacteriocin-producing (bac⁺) lactic acid bacteria (lab) comprising selected strains of lactobacillus curvatus, lactococcus lactis, pediococcus acidilactici, and enterococcus faecium and thailandicus were examined for inhibition of listeria monocytogenes during hotdog challenge studies. the bac⁺ strains, or their cell-free supernatants (cfs), were grouped according to mode-of-action (moa) as determined from prior studies. making a mixture of as many moas as possible is a practical way to obtain a ...	2017	28335414
characteristics of lactic acid bacteria isolates and their effect on the fermentation quality of napier grass silage at three high temperatures.	the poor fermentation quality of silage is an important issue for silage production during the high temperatures of summer. pediococcus acidilactici gg13 (gg13) and lactobacillus rhamnosus gg26 (gg26) isolated from italian ryegrass (lolium multiflorum lam.) silage were characterised by morphological and physiological tests and 16s rrna sequencing analysis, and their effects, along with those of a commercial lactic acid bacteria (lab) inoculant (cb), on the fermentation quality of facultative hal ...	2017	27539868
molecular and biopharmaceutical investigation of alginate-inulin synbiotic co-encapsulation of probiotic to target the colon.	colon targeting, as a site-specific delivery for oral formulation, remains a major challenge, especially for sensitive bioactive components such as therapeutic forms of phages, live attenuated virus, and prebiotics-probiotics association. synbiotics could be used to protect encapsulated probiotics during the gastrointestinal tract and control their release in the colon. to achieve these goals, effective prebiotics such as inulin could be combined with alginate-the most exploited polymer used for ...	2017	28350268
pediococcus acidilactici lab4 and lactobacillus plantarum lab12 assimilate cholesterol and modulate abca1, cd36, npc1l1 and scarb1 in vitro.	there is growing interest in the use of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (lab) for prevention of hypercholesterolaemia. this study assessed the cholesterol lowering ability of pediococcus acidilactici lab4 and lactobacillus plantarum lab12 in growth media. both lab yielded >98% (39.2 μg/ml) cholesterol lowering in growth media. nile red staining indicated direct assimilation of cholesterol by the lab. the lab were then explored for their prophylactic (pre-treatment of ht29 cells with lab prior to ...	2017	27903090
comparative effect of the i3.1 probiotic formula in two animal models of colitis.	use of probiotic therapy is an active area of investigation to treat intestinal disorders. the clinical benefits of the i3.1 probiotic formula (lactobacillus plantarum (cect7484, cect7485) and p. acidilactici (cect7483)) were demonstrated in irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) patients in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. the aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of i3.1 in two experimental models of colitis, a dextran sulfate sodium (dss)-induced coli ...	2017	27832441
