Lactobacillus acidophilus Lactobacillus acidophilus (A bacteria)
Lactobacillus acidophilus is rod-shaped, individually, in pairs or short chains showed the presence of non-athletic, and Gram-positive bacteria. Not grow below 15 ℃, the optimum growth temperature between 35 ℃ to 38 ℃, the optimum pH value of 5.5 to 6.0. Metabolize lactose in milk to produce 0.3 to 1.9% lactic acid. Bile salts have well tolerated, can produce threonine aldolase and alcohol dehydrogenase. Metabolizable glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, lactose and sucrose; unable to utilize xylose (xylose), arabinose (arabinose), rhamnose (rhamnose), mannose (mannose), glycerol, mannitol (mannitol) and sorbitol (sorbitol). Genetic material G + C content of about 36.7%.Lactobacillus acidophilus can manufacture Acidolin, Acidophilin and Lactocidin other natural antibiotics in human intestinal pH of about 4.5, Lactobacillus acidophilus can kill Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium (Salmonella typhimurium) and Clostridium bacilli (Clostridium perfringens). Literature that Lactobacillus acidophilus at the cellular level can stimulate the immune function of activated T cells (on the associated dose), at the molecular level, the promotion of pro-inflammatory chemotactic substances (pro-inflammatory cytokines: IFNγ, IL-6, 12, and TNFα )) gene expression to produce more inflammation of the precursor, to increase production of interferon and cause-specific immune activity.
The main function is to enhance immunity, the normalization of the intestinal flora and inhibit smooth muscle of vaginal candidiasis and fungal growth, researchers have given more than 100 million women in the number of bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus food for six months, found that more than three times lower the Candida vaginitis infection
