THE EFFECT OF LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM ON EXPRESSION OF BIOFILM GENES OF STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS ISOLATED FROM DENTAL CARIES

The effect of Lactobacillus plantarum on expression of biofilm genes of Streptococcus mutans isolated from dental caries

Background: Dental caries and decay caused by Streptococcus mutans.Sucrose, stimulates S.mutans to yield insoluble glucans to form oral biofilm also called dental plaque to start process of caries.The GtfB and LuxS genes of S.mutans are responsible for development and evolution of biofilm.Lactobacillus plantarum as probiotic can affect the biofilm

Effect of paddy straw based complete rations with different levels of neutral detergent fibre on microbial protein synthesis in dairy cows during early and mid lactation

A study was conducted in 18 lactating dairy cows (mean milk yield 10 kg/day) for 6 months by feeding paddy straw based complete rations containing different levels of NDF, in two phases, viz.early and mid lactation, to assess the microbial protein synthesis using purine derivatives (PD) excreted in urine.Isonitrogenous and isocaloric complete ratio
