Cricket farming has shown its potential to address food and nutrition insecurity in parts of the world. However, one of the remaining challenges limiting mass production of edible insects is the affordability of feeds. One possible way to address this issue would be to explore the use of traditional plants such as Moringa oleifera leaf (MOL) and Azadirachta indica leaf (AIL) that are locally available, are protein-rich and possesses some antibacterial properties in insect feed formulation. In this regard, a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementation of MOL (5 or 10%) and AIL (5 or 10%) powder in the commercially used starter chicken feed on growth and microbial load of house cricket (Acheta domesticus) and field cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus). After feeding for four weeks, the supplemented feeds with 10% MOL or 10% AIL in A. domesticus and G. bimaculatus significantly decreased (P<0.05) the body weights. Also, supplementation with MOL (5 or 10%) and AIL (5 or 10%) increased the mortality in both cricket species. Although high counts of total aerobic, Enterobacteriaceae, lactic acid bacteria, bacterial endospores, yeasts and moulds were observed, significantly lower counts (P<0.05) of lactic acid bacteria and bacterial endospores were observed in treatments containing MOL (5 or 10%) and 10% AIL in both cricket species. After processing (toasting and boiling), significant reductions (P<0.001) of all vegetative microbial cells were observed but bacterial endospores were not completely eliminated. Thus, during production and processing of insects and insect-derived products, bacterial endospores would require special attention. Salmonella and Escherichia coli were not detected in processed crickets’ samples. In conclusion, supplementation with 5% MOL or 5% AIL can produce crickets with similar body weight as control feed. Mortality increased significantly when feeds were supplemented with either MOL or AIL powder. Supplementation with MOL and AIL powders significantly reduced the cell numbers for some bacterial groups in both cricket species.

Abstract Background Lactic acid bacteria with probiotic and antibacterial properties were isolated from the vagina of healthy cows. The purpose of the study is to isolation and screening of lactic acid bacteria strains with antibacterial properties from the vagina of healthy cows, which could be used to treat cow vaginal inflammation. Results Isolation and identification of eight dominant lactic acid bacteria strains from 55 isolates was performed using classic microbiology methods and fermentation engineering. Eight strains were selected that had no spores and capsules, exhibited strong acid production capacity (pH <4.5) and had a rapid acid production (time ≤12 h) at the lowest pH. These strains were screened using fermentation engineering, pharmacology, cell biology and molecular biology methods. Lactobacillus johnsonii (SQ0048) had the lowest pH (4.32) and shortest acid-producing time (8 h). L. johnsonii (SQ0048) could produce hydrogen peroxide, inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and adhere to the vaginal epithelial cells of cows. The average number adhering to each cell was 304±2.67. Bacteriocin genes were detected in L. johnsonii (SQ0048), and the bacteriocin gene of a positive clone of this strain was 100% similar to that of Lactobacillus johnsonii NCC 533 (NC_005362.1). Expression of the bacteriocin genes had inhibitory activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Conclusions These advantages indicate that SQ0048 is a promising candidate for use in antimicrobial preparations.

Naniura is a traditional Batak food that is made without going through a heating process, but is made through a fermentation process using acid and salt. The use of acid and salt acts as a preservative because it can inhibit the growth of pathogenic microbes and spoilage microbes. In addition, naniura fermentation has the potential to be a growth medium for lactic acid bacteria, most of which strains can act as probiotics. However, the potential for probiotic naniura is still rarely studied and studied, so this review article is made to examine the potential for probiotic naniura and the health effects that can be obtained. The writing of this journal uses the literature study method, namely by collecting information from various scientific sources. Several studies have shown that naniura contains lactic acid bacteria that can act as broad-spectrum antimicrobials and can specifically inhibit the growth of Salmonella typhi, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium botulinum, E. coli and S. aureus. Consuming probiotic foods can have a positive effect on health, including improving the quality of the digestive tract, increasing the immune system in the body and degrading lactose so that it can be used for lactose intolerant sufferers.

Forty five rats aged 6 weeks were divided into three groups, i.e., control group without probiotic (a0), Lactobacillus casei Shirota (a1), and Lactobacillus IS-7257 (a2).  Each group (consisting of 5 rats each) has three different treatments, namely, control without oxygenated water (b0), 50 ppm oxygenated water (b2), and 80 ppm oxygenated water (b2). Oxygenated water was administered to the rats twice a day in the morning (3.25 ml) and afternoon (3.00 ml). Observation was carried out on the body  weight of the rats, fecal lactic acid bacteria, coliform, and anaerob bacteria by plate counting, for 4 periods, i.e, prior to the treatment (C0), after three-day treatment (C1), after seven-day treatment (C2), and on the 10<sup>th</sup> day treatment or three days after washed out period. The results indicated that probiotic bacteria are resistant to acid and bile acid condition. Oxygen concentration in water has a significant positive influence on the body weight of rats towards viability of probiotic bacteria (p-level &lt; 0.05).  The supplementation of  oxygenated water 50 ppm significantly increase the population of viable fecal lactic acid bacteria in L. casei Shirota and Lactobacillus IS-7257 groups after 3 and 7 days of treatment.  Lactobacillus IS-7257 gave better response than L. casei Shirota. The supplementation of oxygenated water 80 ppm significantly reduces the fecal coliform in-vivo in both L. casei Shirota and Lactobacillus IS-7257 groups (p-level &lt; 0.05).</span></p>

In the study, in the conditions of the dairy complex of the agricultural Firm Tetyushskoe in the Ulyanovsk region, five groups of cows (26 heads per group) were fed according to detailed standards. Cows of groups II, III, IV and V were fed a new sorption-probiotic Supplement (SPD) Biopinnular at a dose of 0.25; 0.50; 0.75 and 1.00 % of dry matter. SPD was made from the natural mineral diatomite (sorbent) and probiotic microbiota (Bacillus subtilius). Such a formulation reduces impact on the body of endo- and exotoxins, in the digestive tract inhibits the development of pathogenic and stimulates the proliferation of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, enhances the digestibility and assimilation of nutrients, for exceeds efficiency and productivity of cows, improve the sustainability of milk and its products. On 100 EKE fed, 7.88, 12.54, 3.73 and 3.48 % more milk was obtained from cows of the experimental groups than from control cows (63.86 kg). The highest efficiency of the diet was observed in group III. The SPD corrects the environmental friendliness of milk and its processing products. The concentration of Pb and Cd in them did not exceed the MPC and was dependent on the dose of the fed Supplement. The least effective dose for reducing ecotoxicants in products was 0.25 %. Therefore, to increase the efficiency of the diet and reduce ecotoxicants content in dairy products, it is advisable to use SPD in diets at a dose of 0.50 % of dry matter.

Lactic acid bacteria are a kind of microorganisms that can ferment carbohydrates to produce lactic acid, and are currently widely used in the fermented food industry. In recent years, with the excellent role of lactic acid bacteria in the food industry and probiotic functions, their microbial metabolic characteristics have also attracted more attention. Lactic acid bacteria can decompose macromolecular substances in food, including degradation of indigestible polysaccharides and transformation of undesirable flavor substances. Meanwhile, they can also produce a variety of products including short-chain fatty acids, amines, bacteriocins, vitamins and exopolysaccharides during metabolism. Based on the above-mentioned metabolic characteristics, lactic acid bacteria have shown a variety of expanded applications in the food industry. On the one hand, they are used to improve the flavor of fermented foods, increase the nutrition of foods, reduce harmful substances, increase shelf life, and so on. On the other hand, they can be used as probiotics to promote health in the body. This article reviews and prospects the important metabolites in the expanded application of lactic acid bacteria from the perspective of bioengineering and biotechnology.

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) cultivation is often hampered by a disease attack, one of them is the attack of Edwarsiella tarda. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can be used as an alternative to prevent diseases in fish by increasing the body's resistance. This research aimed to determine the most effective isolates of LAB that increase of the resistance of carp fingerlings to the attack of E. tarda bacteria and see which isolates can produce the highest survival. The LAB isolates used were the result of isolation from the gut of carp. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments with three replications. The fish were immersed with different LAB isolates, CcB7, CcB8, and CcB15 in the same density of 108 cells / mm3. Immersion was carried out for 30 minutes with a frequency of seven days. While during the research, two immersions were carried out before the challenge test against E. tarda bacteria. The parameters observed were the number of leukocytes, hematocrit, erythrocyte, differential leukocytes, survival rate, and clinical symptoms that appeared. The results showed that all LAB isolates used in this study could increase the body resistance of carp against the attacks of E. tarda bacteria. The LAB CcB7 isolate was the most effective for enhancing the body resistance of carp fish withthe highest increase level of  leukocyte, erythrocyte, and hematocrit were 18 ± 0.057,7 ± 0,077, and 0.26± 7.31% respectively. After being challenged with E. tarda bacteria producing mild clinical symptoms, the highest increase is in monocyte and neutrophil cells was 20 and 62% respectively, the highest reduction in lymphocytes was – 9%  and the highest survival rate was 80%.

Probiotik merupakan mikroorganisme hidup yang jika dikonsumsi dalam jumlah yang tepat dapat memberikan manfaat bagi tubuh. Sebagian besar bakteri asam laktat merupakan bakteri probiotik. Untuk dapat memberikan manfaat yang maksimal bagi tubuh, salah satu kriteria yang harus dipenuhi yaitu mampu bertahan hidup pada kondisi pH yang rendah. Hal ini dikarenakan bakteri probiotik akan menghadapi kondisi pH rendah yang terdapat di lambung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji kemampuan isolat BAL hasil fermentasi kubis merah untuk bertahan hidup pada pH 3. Bakteri asam laktat ditumbuhkan pada media MRS agar yang ditambahkan 1% CaCO3 dengan menggunakan metode sebar (spread) dan dimurnikan menggunakan metode gores (streak). Uji ketahanan asam dilakukan dengan cara isolat diinkubasi pada kondisi pH 3 dalam media NB kemudian ditumbuhkan kembali pada media NA dengan menggunakan metode spread. Uji dilakukan juga untuk mengamati aktivitas enzim katalase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa isolat yang diperoleh dari hasil fermentasi kubis merah mampu bertahan pada pH 3.Probiotics is a livinng microorganism that if consumed in the right amount can provide  benefits to the body. Most lactic acid bacteria are probiotic bacteria. To be able to provide maximum benefits for the body, one of the criteria that must be met is able to survive at low pH. This is because probiotic bacteria will face low pH conditions found in the stomach.
