BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF PROBIOTICS BASED THERAPY FOR IMMUNE HOMEOSTASIS

Several approaches have been used to demonstrate that signals derived from gut microbiota are critical for the development of the immune system. Probiotics are live microorganisms that have beneficial effects on host health, including extended lifespan, when they are administered or present in adequate quantities. However, the mechanisms by which probiotics stimulate host longevity remain unclear and very poorly understood. Probiotic supplements are needed to determine the effectiveness as a non-chemical approach to promote health and welfare. Our studies focus on the assessment of the molecular impact of probiotic administration involved in homeostasis and immunity. Shrimps received the recommended doses of microbial pack containing Bacillus species andRhodococcus species. The fermentation was carried at 37°C for 72 hours under microaerophilic condition. The parameters like pH, microbial load, acidity and concentration of reducing sugar had been measured.This probiotic pack when used either alone or in combination with traditional dairy starter, significantly improved the nutritional properties and the shelf life of the product. The present work will be valuable to elaborate novel functional food based on these original probiotic properties.
