Compositions wherein foodstuffs act as carriers of freeze-dried probiotics provide new means for administration of probiotics. The products that are easily shipped may be eaten as purchased or mixed with other ingredients to provide variety in the diet while administering beneficial probiotic organisms to the gastrointestinal tract.

Freeze-dried probiotic foodstuffs

The present invention provides a method of treating a disease or condition characterized by inflammation in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of aprobiotic. Compositions ofprobiotic are also provided.

Compositions and methods for treating inflammatory related diseases or conditions usingprobiotics

The present invention provides compositions comprising a probiotc in admixture with an effective amount of an amphipathic substance that enhances viability of the probiotic in the composition when the composition is subjected to heat.

Compositions comprising probiotics and methods of use thereof

[object Object]

This invention relates to use of probiotics, particularlyand, for use in conjunction with steroids and other immune suppressor agents to ameliorate symptoms of autoimmune diseases, especially disease symptoms arising from the body's production of antibodies against autologous blood cells. The practice of the invention sustains ameliorative response associated with immune suppressor agents while lowering the amount of immune suppressor agents required for treatment.

Probiotic enhancement of steroid and immune suppressor activity in mammals with chronic diseases

Astrain that is viable at temperatures above 65&#xb0; C., is able to grow in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and in a pH range between 1 and 6.2 and a consumable food product containing same.

High temperature, resistant probiotics for food and feed preparations

An exemplary embodiment providing one or more improvements includes feeding animals with probiotic microbes encapsulated in a mixture of xanthan gum and chitosan, or in gelatin, specificallyand. Such encapsulation protects the viability of the probiotic microbes against unfavorable temperatures. An exemplary embodiment providing one or more improvements includes methods of using viable probiotics in therapy of birds and mammals infected with infectious diseases. Probiotics acted as adjuvants in stimulating antibody reaction and stimulated a cellular immunity response. In particular, probiotics were shown to reduce the number of viable oocytes from fecal samples, stimulate antibody production, and stimulate of proliferation of splenocytes in chickens infected with. In addition, probiotics were shown to relieve symptoms of parvovirus infection in dogs.

Probiotic treatment for infectious gastrointestinal diseases

An exemplary embodiment providing one or more improvements includes probiotic compositions comprising probiotic microorganisms with dried vegetable, fruit, cereal, or herb powder. Feeding human or animals either having biological or environmental changes with probiotic compositions has a positive effect in relieving the changes. Positive effects has been demonstrated in humans, dogs, and fish.

Effects of probiotics on humans and animals under environmental or biological changes

Probiotics as alternative medicines against infectious diseases

The present invention provides novel rapidly growing microorganisms and methods for their use in cloning or subcloning nucleic acid molecules. The rapid growing microorganisms of the present invention form colonies more rapidly than microorganisms typically used in molecular biology and thus provide a significant improvement in in vitro cloning methods used extensively in molecular biology. The invention also relates to kits and compositions used in the methods of the invention.

Rapid growing microorganisms for biotechnology applications

The invention relates to improvedbacteria with enhanced viability at low temperatures, methods for producing improved bacterial strains capable of enhanced viability at low temperatures, and the isolation and use of genetic material capable of enhancing the viability of bacteria at low temperatures. In addition to the enhanced viability at low temperatures, the bacteria may exhibit enhanced transformation efficiencies after storage at low temperatures. As such, the invention may be used for the insertion of exogenous DNA sequences into the bacteria of the invention.

Method for increasing viability and transformation efficiency of bacteria during storage at low temperatures

The present invention provides compounds and compositions capable of stimulating plant growth, regeneration of plant cells and tissues, and transformation of plant cells and tissues, comprising mono- and multi-substituted auxinic analogues of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) comprising substituent groups such as halo-, alkyl-, alkoxy-, acyl-, acylamido- and acyloxy-groups. The invention relates to a method of using such mono- and multi-substituted auxinic analogues of IAA to affect growth, regeneration or transformation in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants, as well as in transgenic plant tissues. The invention also contemplates the use of these auxinic IAA analogues in the presence of other plant growth regulators, such as cytokinin, etc., to enhance plant growth.
