---|---|
Introduction | Bacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, a member of the phylum Bacillota. Bacillus species can be either obligate aerobes which are dependent on oxygen, or facultative anaerobes which can survive in the absence of oxygen. |
Alternative Names | B. coagulans |
Key parameters include the viability of the spores, gastrointestinal symptoms, immune response markers, and overall health outcomes such as digestive and protein absorption metrics.
Bacillus coagulans is highly stable in various formulations including capsules, powders, and functional foods. It remains viable through manufacturing processes and shelf life, making it versatile for research and product development.
The recommended dosage varies depending on the specific research protocol. Commonly, doses range from 1 to 5 billion CFUs per day, administered in single or divided doses.
Bacillus coagulans can be incorporated into various food products, such as yogurt, juice, and baked goods. The spores can withstand heat and acidic conditions, making them suitable for diverse food matrices. Proper mixing and processing conditions should be maintained to ensure even distribution.
Research has shown that Bacillus coagulans supports digestive health, enhances protein absorption, and boosts immune function. These benefits have been observed in various clinical and pre-clinical studies, highlighting its efficacy in promoting overall health.
Mouse survival data
The research investigated the effects of Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086 (BC30) on C. difficile-induced colitis in mice. Female C57BL/6 mice were administered either a vehicle or BC30 (2 × 10^9 CFU per day) for 15 days. Mice infected with C. difficile showed significant improvement in survival rates and stool consistency when treated with BC30. On study day 12, 67% of the BC30-treated mice had normal stools compared to only 13% in the vehicle-treated group (p = 0.0002). By day 16, 24% of BC30-treated mice still had normal stools versus 0% in the vehicle group (p = 0.0187). Additionally, BC30 treatment significantly reduced the stool consistency score (1.1 ± 0.2) compared to the vehicle group (1.9 ± 0.2). The BC30-treated mice also exhibited attenuated colonic pathology and reduced levels of colonic MIP-2 chemokine, indicating anti-inflammatory effects. The findings suggest that BC30 can effectively mitigate symptoms of C. difficile-induced colitis, improving gut health and reducing inflammation.
