Lactobacillus salivarius (L. salivarius) is a probiotic bacterial species having a multiple range of therapeutic uses including antibacterial, antifungal and detoxifier. The present study was carried out to explore alternative and more effective medium for its growth. For this purpose, milk products (Skimmed Milk Powder: SMP and Fermented Whey Powder: FWP) supplemented with industrial waste (Corn Steep Liquor: CSL and Yeast Sludge: YS) were studied as alternative media for bacterial growth. Along with media components, physical conditions (Time, Temperature, pH, Agitation, etc.) were also optimized. Among both the milk products, FWP (2%) had shown the highest bacterial growth (11.7 + 0.17 log10 CFU/mL). Bacterial growth was improved by adding 0.3% CSL in both (FWP: 13.8 + 0.7 log10 CFU/mL and SMP: 12.8 + 0.03 log10 CFU/mL) media. FWP medium was comparatively better for growth of L. salivarius when 1 % YS was added (13.4 + 0.1 log10 CFU/mL). Optimum bacterial growth was achieved in both the media after 24 hours of incubation at 30 °C temperature, 6.5 pH and 200 rpm agitation. It was concluded that 2% FWP medium supplemented with 0.3% CSL, 1 % YS, 1% Glucose had proven to be better for growth of L. salivarius. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Plant growth-promoting bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and soil derived from the root zone of different agricultural crops cultivated in different climatic regions, i.e., Germany and Uzbekistan. The influence of the bacterial origin in combination with important ecological growth factors such as temperature and soil type on the specific bacterial growth-stimulating effects for pea in the seedling stage was investigated. The investigations were carried out in pot experiments with typical nutrient-rich Cambisol soil (loamy sand and sandy loam) at moderate temperatures in Germany, and using nutrient-poor, calcareous Calcisol soil in Uzbekistan at semi-arid temperatures. Effective bacteria from both the temperate and semi-arid climate increased growth and nutrient uptake of pea. The bacteria isolates survived after root and shoot inoculation mostly in the rhizosphere and the soil of the root zone of pea. Most of plant growth promoting bacteria produced phytohormone auxin and capable of nitrogenase activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is still an important clinical problem. The NIH prostatitis classification introduced in 1998 for diagnosis and treatment measures is based on extended microbiological analysis of urine and expressed prostate secretion (4-glass test). In 1997 J.C. Nickel proved that the culture and microscopic examination of urine before and after prostatic massage leads to the same results as the 4-glass test. In our prospective study on 143 patients with a diagnosis of chronic prostatitis, we analyzed this statement and came to the same results. We therefore recommend replacing the expensive and time-consuming 4-glass test by a simple preprostatic and postprostatic massage urine culture. Further examinations should only be performed in special cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
