“…Moreover, surfactant addition to preformed mature biofilms accelerated their dispersal and altered the characteristics of the biofilm morphology. A novel xylolipid biosurfactant from Lactococcus lactis, a probiotic strain isolated from a traditional Indian fermented dairy product, showed a good antibacterial activity against clinical pathogens of E. coli and MRSA strains (Saravanakumari & Mani, 2010). Xylolipid was non-pathogenic and safe for oral consumption and dermal applications, suggesting that it could be safely used as a therapeutic agent or as a preservative in food or cosmetic products.…”

“…Antimicrobial activity assay was adapted from the method described by Saravanakumari and Mani (2010). Overnight incubated cultures of the isolates were horizontally streaked on LB agar plates and incubated at 37°C for 48 h. After the incubation period, plates were exposed to chloroform vapor for 90 min for the inactivation of active cells.…”

Screening and selection of novel animal probiotics isolated from bovine chyme

Probiotics, gut-colonizing microorganisms capable of conferring a number of health benefits to their hosts, are highly desirable as animal feed supplements. Members of the Gram-positive genus Bacillus are often utilized as probiotics, since endospores formed by those bacteria render them highly resistant to environmental extremes and therefore capable of surviving gastrointestinal tract conditions. In this study, 84 distinct bacterial colonies were obtained from bovine chyme and 29 isolates were determined as Bacillus species. These isolates were principally screened for their antimicrobial activity against a group of two Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria, including known human and animal pathogens such as Salmonella enterica, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. Seven strains displaying strong antimicrobial activity against the test cohort were further evaluated for other properties desirable from animal probiotics, including high spore-forming capacity and adhesiveness, resistance to pH extremes and ability to form biofilms. The isolates were found to resist simulated gastrointestinal conditions and most of the antibiotics tested. In addition, plasmid presence was checked and cytotoxicity tests were performed to evaluate the potential risks of antibiotic resistance transfer and unintended pathogenic effects on host, respectively. We propose that the bacterial isolates are suitable for use as animal probiotics.
