Technological aspects of getting essential elements using probiotic preparations based on bacteria of the genus Bacillus

Abstract

The paper presents data on getting bioavailable forms of essential elements on the example of zinc using probiotic strains. Probiotic strains form the basis of probiotic preparations: “Sporobacterin” (B. subtilis 534) and “Bactisubtil” (B. cereus 5832). The experiment was carried out on laboratory animals (rats). To confirm the technology of obtaining bioavailable forms of zinc, studies of blood biochemical parameters (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase) were carried out, and also the data on the delivery of zinc in the tissue of laboratory animals were reflected. The data of the conducted study indicate small changes in the biochemical parameters of blood against the background of a mineral deficient state. The concentration of the studied biochemical parameters was within the reference values. Probiotic strains did not affect blood biochemical parameters adversely. Evaluation of the accumulation of bioavailable forms of zinc showed that inactivated Bacillus strains were capable of converting into a bioavailable form and delivering zinc to the tissues of laboratory animals. It can be concluded that one of the possible options for regulating the elemental status of the organism of animals and humans is the technology of using biotic preparations based on the metabolic by-product of representatives of transient microflora with high sorption characteristics.
