PURPOSE:To obtain a mixture of 3 kinds of living bacteria useful as a main raw material for pharmaceuticals (e.g. intestine-conditioning agent), health foods, feeds, etc., by using lactic bacteria, saccharifying bacteria and butyric acid bacteria as active components. CONSTITUTION:The objective mixture can be produced by using lactic bacteria useful for human and animal (e.g. Streptococcus faecalis), saccharifying bacteria (e.g. Bacillus mesentericus) and butyric acid bacteria (e.g. Clostridium butyricum) as active components and mixing the components with an excipient such as potato starch, corn starch, lactose, sucrose, etc. The amounts of the saccharifying bacteria and butyric acid bacteria are preferably 4.5-5pts. and 5.0-5.5pts. per 1pt. of the lactic bacteria. The resistance of the mixture to heat, dryness and chemicals can be improved by using the saccharifying bacteria and butyric acid bacteria after sporulation. |
