Flora-Focus® Probiotic Powder
Bacillus licheniformis BL-GA26
Offering exclusive probiotic powders for professional clients around the world .
BL-GA26 powder is a probiotic additive, containing Bacillus licheniformis BL-GA26 and a dilution carrier (such as glucose anhydrous etc). Bacillus licheniformis BL-GA26 is a bacteria with the below character:
Kingdom: Bacteria
Division: Firmicutes
Class: Bacilli
Family: Bacillaceae
Genus: Bacillus
Species: Bacillus licheniformis
Gram-positive, Catalase-positive, with the spore form, stick shaped, metabolism prefers mesophilic and thermophilic temperature in aerobic condition. It is widely found in the outside environments, but also in animal and human bodies. The spore formed Bacillus spp have good resistance to different environments and it can be stored for long periods of time at 60°C temperatures. The animal/human gastric, water or humidity etc can help to transfer the bacteria from spore form to active status. The Bacills bacteria is using its vegetable cell which is composed of peptidoglycan to coordinate this inactive/active metabolism. Even more resistant than Bacillus subtilis, the Bacillus licheniformis can survice in high alkaline conditions as well as in low pH conditions. Bacillus licheniformis is studied and used for along time already, just like Bacillus subtilis, even before antibiotic discovery. Based on study results, the metabolism of the Bacillus licheniformis has the following characteristics:
1) Oxygen consumption by aerobic metabolism to help support the other anaerobic bacteria, especially the friendly lactic acid bacteria to grow up, the further metabolism from the lactic acid bacteria can also produce more organic acid to compete and inhibit the pathogens growing up.
2) Enzyme production ability; the Bacillus spp is able to produce several types of enzymes, such as likeα -amylase, protease, lipase, cellulose etc,. These enzymes can work together with other enzymes from animal/human bodies.
3) Vitamins and anti-bodies production ability; Bacillus lcheniformisis is able to produce sufficient amounts of vitamin B as well as different types of antibodies which have antibiotics like functions (such as Chitinase, Gramidicin, Polymycin, Nystatin etc). These have a good symbiosis with natural nutrition
Due to the strong surviving ability as well as its comprehensive metabolism ability, in the past years Bacillus spp has been widely used in the enzyme industry, animal nutrition and health, environment control, detergents, water cleaning etc. It is approved in EFSA-QPS list as well the US-GRAS list.
APPLICATIONS:
1) Medication, HealthCare, Dietary Supplements, in forms of capsules, tablet, sachets/strips, drops etc.
2)Animal nutrition products; Animal feed.
3) Animal feed starter cultures; Aquaculture feeds

SAFETY CONCERNS:
The application of Bacillus spp is still in the documenting phase; The main concerns are with:
(1) Antibiotic and antibiotic resistance.
Unlike the other friendly bacteria, the DNA analysis studies showed that there is some risks for the mobile plasmids from the Bacillus spp to transfer the antibiotic resistance to other microbes, especially the Coccus spp and Coliforms.
(2) Bacillus spp is not easy to be sterilized.
Although Bacillus can be widely found in the environment not all the Bacillus spp has the probiotic character.
The production control for the Bacillus spp must be very cautious to avoid the cross-contamination.
(3) Due to some special enzyme and antibody production abilities, some Bacillus spp might be used as a genetically engineered bacteria; if used as probiotic it is essential to demonstrate its non-GMO status.
While in the global market, there is a trend to introduce Bacillus spp into the dietary supplements or healthcare application, Bacillus spp has been granted QPS (Qualified Presumption of Safety) statusby EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) for certain applications. In China, CFDA does not approve this strain to be freely used in human foods, but some of the OTC drugs approved are with Bacillus licheniformis. In China, this strain is mainly approved for animal health or animal feed applications.
Finally, let me introduce our company to you :
