"ABSTRAK Blondo basah minyak kelapa murni merupakan produk pangan tradisional di Indonesia. Berdasarkan komposisi kimiawi dapat digunakan sebagai sumber bahan tambahan untuk produk-produk makanan olahan bergizi serta mengandung bakteri asam laktat seperti Lactobacillus sp. Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai kualitas dan karakteristik isolat bakteri asam laktat dari blondo basah minyak kelapa murni sebagai probiotik. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas blondo basah minyak kelapa murni dan mendapatkan isolat bakteri asam laktat dari blondo basah minyak kelapa murni yang berpotensi sebagai probiotik. Kualitas blondo basah minyak kelapa murni terbaik dari kelapa dalam Bali dengan kandungan protein (8,45%), lemak (43,2%), asam lemak (2,75%), asam laurat (38,5%), dan berwarna putih yang diterima oleh panelis. Blondo basah minyak kelapa murni yang dihasilkan tidak memiliki aktivitas antibakteri. Diperoleh dua isolat bakteri asam laktat (KDB 3 dan KDB 5) diduga berpotensi sebagai kandidat probiotik dengan ciri-ciri: mempunyai ketahanan terhadap 0,3% garam empedu dan pH 3, menghasilkan asam, memiliki sifat hidrofobisitas, dan koagreagasi. Kedua isolat BAL di identifikasi secara molekuler dengan menggunakan 16S rDNA diduga sebagai Lactobacillus.

ABSTRACT Virgin coconut oil wet blondo (VCO wet blondo) is a traditional food product in Indonesia. Based on the nutritional composition, it can be used as an additional source for nutritious food products and it contains lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus sp. Research on quality and characteristic of lactic acid bacteria as probiotics from VCO wet blondo was carried out. The objectives of this research were to determine the quality of VCO wet blondo and to obtain lactic acid bacteria isolates from the blondo which has potential as probiotic bacteria. VCO wet blondo with the best quality was the blondo of “kelapa dalam Bali” with protein (8.45%), lipid (43.2%), fatty acid (2.75%), lauric acid (38.5%), and white colour which was acceptable by panelists. Antibacterial activity was not detected in the wet blondo. Two lactic acid bacteria isolates (KDB 3 and KDB 5) indicated probiotic candidates, shown by: resistance to 0.3% bile salts and pH 3, acids production, hydrophobicity properties, and coaggregation. The two isolates of lactic acid bacteria were molecular identified using 16S rDNA as Lactobacillus candidates."

"Probiotics have been known for their use in medical field for quite a long time. Strong evidences now available for the use of probiotics in clinical setting. One of the current issues on this topic is the use of probiotics in pregnancy. Recent studies showed that probiotics may be safe and beneficial for prenatal supplementation. In this review, we highlighted seven proven use of probiotics supplementation in pregnant women. A few selected strains of probiotics showed promising outcome to prevent preterm labor and preeclampsia, and to reduce atopic eczema but not asthma and wheezing, in offspring of women who had prenatal probiotics supplementation. The mechanism of action responsible for this effect is closely related to the regulation of T cells, although the exact pathways are not defined yet "

"Studi terkini menyatakan bahwa terdapat sebuah kelompok mikrobiota, yang dapat memberikan efek menguntungkan bagi kesehatan manusia. Kelompok ini dikenal dengan sebutan probiotik. Probiotik didefi nisikan sebagai mikroorganisme hidup, non patogenik, yang bila diberikan dalam jumlah mencukupi, dapat memberikan manfaat kesehatan bagi pejamunya. Pemberian probiotik dapat mengubah komposisi mikrobiota di usus. Berbagai sediaan probiotik mempunyai peranan untuk dapat mencegah berbagai kelainan maupun menyembuhkan sejumlah penyakit. Probiotik telah menunjukkan berbagai manfaat di dalam hal melegakan konstipasi, mempercepat penyembuhan diare, menurunkan resiko kanker kolorektal, menormalkan status nutrisi, dan mengurangi gejala-gejala sindrom usus iritabel, infl ammatory bowel disease, serta intoleransi laktosa. Namun, manfaat-manfaat terkait penggunaan probiotik tersebut bersifat strain spesifi k. Oleh karena itu, untuk dapat memberikan manfaat kesehatan, probiotik harus diberikan dengan menggunakan regimen dosis tertentu untuk masing-masing strain probiotik, berdasarkan studi klinis yang adekuat. Meskipun pada umumnya probiotik bersifat aman, namun pemantauan yang cermat perlu dilakukan pada penggunaan probiotik untuk pasien lansia.

AbstractRecent studies have reported that there is a group of microbiota, which have been shown to bring benefi cial effects on human?s health. They are called probiotics. Probiotics have been defi ned as live, non pathogenic microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefi t on the host. The administration of probiotics can change the composition of the gut microbiota. Several probiotics preparations seem to have a role in the prevention of certain diseases as well as treatment of various conditions. Probiotics have been shown to be helpful in relieving constipation, promoting recovery from diarrhea, reducing the risks of colorectal cancer, normalizing nutritional status, and improving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, infl ammatory bowel disease, and lactose intolerance. However, the benefi ts associated with probiotics are strain specifi c. Therefore, the use of probiotics to confer health benefi ts should indicate the dosage regimens of each probiotics strain, based on adequate clinical trials. Although probiotics are generally regarded as safe, careful monitoring should be performed on the use of probiotics in the elderly patients."

"Indonesia is the second largest supplier of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, Boone 1931) in the USA market. Hence, the need for its sustainable production and improved growth. Probiotics, among others, are known for their growth enhancing attributes. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effects of powder and liquid probiotics on the growth of white shrimps at the Minaloka Jaya shrimp ponds, Grabag District, Purwerojo Regency, Central Java. The shrimps were cultivated for 60 days and applied with three probiotic treatments, namely commercial liquid probiotics with dosage of 10 mL/kg feed, powder probiotics with dosage of 10 g/kg feed and liquid probiotic with dosage of 10 mL/kg feed. Each probiotic preparation was administered four times a day to over 150,000 vannamei shrimps which were cultured in a semi-intensive system. Probiotics in powder and liquid forms contain Lactobacillus fermentum, L acidophilus, L. plantarum, L, curvatus, Bacillus licheniformis, B. subtilis, and B. polimyxa. B. megaterium, B. coagulans, Pseudomonasputida, Nitrosomonas sp. and Nitrobacter sp. Using the Randomized Block Design (RBD), the three treatments were replicated five times. The application of probiotics in both powder and liquid forms had increased the growth yield of the vannamei shrimp. However, the powder probiotic had shown better growth performance than the commercial liquid probiotics and liquid preparation of probiotics. Probiotic powder form provides a specific growth rate (SGR) of 8.18%, absolute body length of 9.68 cm, absolute biomass of 6.78 g, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.93."

"This book will interest specialists dealing with cancer associated infectious complications, researchers working in the field of cancer biology, teachers and scientists in the field of microbiology, biotechnology, medicine and oncology.

"This book provides a detailed account of the physico-chemical properties and biological functions of the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of different pathogenic and non-pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. It also includes an authentic record of the first systematic study that discovered the mechanism of OMV formation by a pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, and proposed that the process represented a novel secretory activity of bacteria. Furthermore, the authors present clinical and laboratory data on the use of OMVs as immunogens, as effective and licensed vaccines against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B infections and on the development of more effective vaccines against other human and animal pathogens including Vibrio cholerae. This volume thus bears witness to the emerging revolution in the field of vaccines against pathogens and closes with a discussion of open questions and future research on OMVs."
