Probiotics are live microorganisms which when consumed in large number together with a food promote the health of consumer. The aim this study was to evaluate vitro probiotic properties lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from traditional Ethiopian fermented Teff injera dough, Ergo, and Kocho products. A total 90 LAB were isolated, 4 (4.44%) isolates showed 45.35-97.11% 38.40-90.49% survival rates at pH values (2, 2.5, 3) for 3 6 h, that order. four acid-tolerant found tolerant 0.3% bile...
Fermented foods play a major role in the diet of people Africa, where wide variety raw materials are fermented. Understanding microbial populations these products would help design specific starter cultures to produce standardized and safer foods. In this study, bacterial diversity African fermented produced from several (cereals, milk, cassava, honey, palm sap, locust beans) under different conditions (household, small commercial producers or laboratory) 8 countries was analysed by 16S rRNA...

Salmonella is one of the most harmful pathogens responsible for foodborne outbreaks, illnesses and deaths. The aim this study was to evaluate effect potentially probiotic strains against Typhimurium DT104 in mice. compatibility test among selected potential ( Lactobacillus plantarum K132 , paracasei K114 Lactococcus lactis E124) using cross-streaking method showed absence antagonism. anti- activities coculture isolated probiotics form mixed or single culture a remarkable activity with 96.50...
The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains many pathogens is a serious threat and makes chemotherapy more difficult. main objective this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity Senna singueana Cyphostemma junceum plant extracts against Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa. crude selected medicinal plants were prepared subjected phytochemical screening using standard methods. Antibacterial determined disc diffusion method. Therefore, highest (15.41%) lowest (0.91%)...
Abstract Background With about 100 species, Commelina is the largest genus of Commelinaceae in Africa. Although medicinal and economic benefits had been studied extensively, little known its cytological analysis. Hence, this study will focus on chromosome nucleoli analysis selected species L. Somatic chromosomes were prepared from root tips that emerged nodes stem cuttings made to stand submerged water. The roots pretreated 8-hydroxyquinelin 3–5 hrs followed by fixation 3:1 ethanol: acetic...
