BC-G44 powder is a probiotic containing the Bacillus coagulans and also a dilution carrier such as the Glucose Anhydrous etc.
Bacillus coagulans BC-G44 is a bacteria with the following
classification:
Kingdom:
Bacteria
Phylum:
Firmicutes
Class:
Bacilli
Order:
Bacillales
Family:
Bacillaceae
Genus:
Bacillus
Species:
Bacillus coagulans
A lactic acid-forming bacterial species. Gram-positive rod (0.9 by 3.0 to 5.0 μm in size), catalase positive, spore-forming, motile, and a facultative anaerobe. Metabolism prefers mesophilic temperature about 40ºC, range of
temperature is 30-55ºC; and it grows in the pH range of 5.5 to 7.0. the spore formed Bacillus spp is more acid tolerant than pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, good resistant to the high temperature, acidity and bile.
Spores of B. coagulans are likely survive at gastric pH and reach the intestine, where sporulation can occur. The animal or human gastric humidity can help the bacteria to transform from spore form to active state of being,
and then produce peptidoglycan to coordinate this inactive/active metabolism.
Bacillus coagulans has been studied and used for a long time, even much before antibiotic discovery. It was regarded as the alternative medicine in a period for bacteria treatment, from the summarized study results, the
metabolism of the Bacillus coagulans is mainly as:
✓ Oxygen consumption by aerobic metabolism to help to boost the
other anaerobic bacteria especially the friendly lactic acid bacteria to grow
up. Also as a part of its metabolic activity, it can also produce more organic
acid to compete and inhibit the growth of pathogens.
✓ The Bacillus spp is able to produce multiple types of enzymes,
such like α-amylase, protease, lipase, cellulose etc. These enzymes can
facilitate the working of other enzymes from the host animal or human body.
✓Bacillus spp is able to produce sufficient amounts of vitamin B
as well different type antibodies that can be used as antibiotics such as Iturin
A, Chitinase, Gramidicin, Polymycin , Nystatin etc. These work together
with natural nutrition supplements as well the naturalantibiotics.
✓Bacillus coagulans produce L(+)Lactic acid
Due to the strong surviving ability as well the comprehensive metabolism
ability, Bacillus spp in the past tens of years are widely used in the enzyme
industry, animal nutrition and health, environment control etc. Also its
byproducts are approved by many important regulatory authorities. In fact in some regions such as America, Ukraine, Italy etc. it is very popular ingredient of probiotic products meant for human consumption. Bacillus coagulans is included CFDA approved safe strains to be used for human foods in China. It is also general
approved in EFSA-QPS list as well the US-GRAS list.
