Abstract

The Bacillus KU801 strain, due to its potential in the field of probiotics for animal use, was isolated from chicken feces. Strain KU801 was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KU801 based on the results of 16S rRNA sequencing. Vegetative and spore cells of S. amyloliquefaciens KU801 were resistant to artificial gastric juice and artificial bile acid. B. amyloliquefaciens KU801 was found to inhibit the production of nitric oxide (NO) and increase the production of Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-Iα). DNA damage induced by N-methyl-Ntion of ninitroso-guanidine (MNNG) was significantly inhibited, in a dose dependent manner, by preincubating MNNG together with B. amyloliquefaciens KU801. These results demonstrate the potential use of B. amyloliquefaciens KU801 as a feed additive.
