  • Probiotic compositions and process thereof
    Patent number: 8506952
    Abstract: Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof. Processes may include applying Janthinobacterium, for example Janthinobacterium lividum, over a host and/or host area(s) to minimize microbe(s) and/or maximize therapeutic effects. A process to minimize a microbe may include applying to skin a composition including isolated Janthinobacterium lividum and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include relatively heat tolerant Janthinobacterium lividum which may produce metabolites, for example violacein up to approximately 29° C. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include Janthinobacterium lividum between approximately 25×106 and 6.4×107 cells. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include Janthinobacterium lividum which has and/or produces between approximately 18 ?M and 129 ?M of violacein. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include a stimulant to maximize metabolites.
