Microbiota and dysbiosis

  Written By: Dr. Senthil Subramani Biotechnologist | 10 years of experience The composition of the gut microbiota is dynamic so that it varies both in the type and in the abundance of the microbes (mainly bacteria & yeast) throughout life. Hence, the composition of the microbiota of a newborn is an emerging stage and is modified by various internal and external factors that influence its development during all stages of life. The microbiota of an infant is totally different from that of a child, a young person, an adult, or an elderly person. In addition to this physiological fact, the microbial composition of an individual is influenced by other factors that can alter the balance of the gut microbiota. The factors which cause the alteration of the microbiota composition are known as microbial disruptors. The milieu of the gut, “dysbiosis” means the condition in which the imbalance or maladaptation microbial ecosystem, causing the predominance of certain ...

Probiotics: The Good Bacteria

The word Probiotic is derived from Latin, which means “for life.” Long ago, when people were not aware of the existence of probiotics, even then, the good bacteria were consumed as a part of fermented foods such as bread, kefir, kumis, cheese, beer, and wine. Probiotics refer to the live bacteria that are beneficial for health. They are also termed as “good bacteria” because they reduce the harmful bacteria in the gut and keep the digestive tract healthy. A healthy gut, in turn, helps in maintaining proper body functions. The probiotics can be consumed through fermented foods or health supplements. The critical health benefits associated with probiotics consumption are: Probiotics are well known for their ability to cure diarrhea . Diarrhea generally occurs as a side effect of antibiotic consumption. The probiotic bacteria , such as  Lactobacillus rhamnosus ,  Lactobacillus casei , and  Saccharomyces boulardii ,  are known to be effective in curing d...

Microbial Culture Techniques

A Bioflex   microbiological culture , or Bioflex   microbial culture , is a method of multiplying  microbial organisms . The microbial organisms reproduce themselves in a predetermined culture medium. This is done under controlled laboratory conditions.  The Bioflex microbial culture methods are usually selected according to the agents being cultured. The most common methods used by Bioflex microbial cultures are: Broth cultures In this method for Bioflex microbial cultures , microbial culture is liquid culture. The desired Bioflex microbial culture is suspended in a liquid nutrient medium, in an upright flask. It allows a scientist to grow up large amounts of bacteria for a variety of downstream applications. Agar plates Bioflex Microbiol Cultures are prepared in Petri dishes. These Petri dishes come in various sizes. They have a thin layer of agar-based growth medium. A Bioflex Microbial culture is selected and placed in these plates. ...

Common Probiotic Strains

Living microorganisms or bacteria has lots of health benefits. These bacteria or probiotics can be found in our daily foods like yogurt and other cultured foods. These foods help in improving your body's bacterial environment inside and out. Bioflex probiotics help in breaking down the protein and fats in the digestive tract. It helps children and patients in building strength and overall health. Probiotic Strains Bioflex Probiotic strains are the simplest level of identification of probiotics. They are the genetic subtypes of species.  The most common probiotic strains that you can find are: B. animalis:  This Bioflex probiotic strain is an ingredient in yogurt products. These Bioflex probiotic strains help in proper digestion and fighting bad bacteria. It also helps in boosting your immune system. B. breve:  This Bioflex probiotic strain exists in your digestive stretch and the vagina. It helps in fighting bacteria than causes infect...

Bacillus clausii

Bacillus clausii is one of the best forms of probiotics which are made up of those beneficial bacterial strains that can overcome the acidic environment in the stomach, which is found there in the form of biliary acids and other drugs.  Probiotic bacillus strains are able to stick to the lining of the stomach and help increase the immune capacity of the body. Bacillus clausii are such potent strains of bacteria that some of them can react with antibodies and still be able to carry out their functions in the stomach. A typical Bioflex   Bacillus clausii  bacterium is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, and agile bacterial strain that typically lives in the soil. It is known for its ability to bind itself wi th the host and provide nourishment to it without causing any harm. Bacillus probiotics , when consumed by humans in the correct amount, it can provide extra benefits to the body and help to strengthen the resistance of an individual. How  Bacillus clausi...
