    Abstract: The present invention provides a Bacillus subtilis strain selected from the group consisting of a) the strain deposited as DSM32324,b) the strain deposited as DSM32325, and c) a mutant strain of (a) or (b) which has sensitivity for ampicillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol; and has inhibitory activity against E. coli and Clostridium perfringens. The invention further relates to Bacillus compositions comprising at least one Bacillus subtilis strain of the invention, preferably the Bacillus subtilis strain DSM32324 and/or the Bacillus subtilis strain DSM32325, as Direct Fed Microbial (DFM), premix, animal feed additive or animal feed. The invention provides a method of improving one or more animal performance parameters selected from the group consisting of i) increased weight gain (WG), ii) lower feed conversion ratio (FCR), iii) lower necrotic enteritis lesion scoring, iv) lower necrotic enteritis frequency, v) lower necrotic enteritis mortality, vi) increased European Production Efficacy Factor (EPEF), and vii) lower mortality, by feeding a strain or a composition according to the invention to an animal.

    Abstract: The dairy industry today faces a problem of providing an alternative to adding sweeteners to fermented milk products in order to achieve the desired sweet taste without the added calories. Furthermore, it would be highly advantageous to establish a method for reducing lactose in fermented milk products to a level which is acceptable for lactose-intolerant consumers. The above problems have been solved by providing mutant Streptococcus thermophilus strains and mutant Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strains that excrete glucose to the milk when the milk is inoculated and fermented with such Streptococcus thermophilus strains and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp, bulgaricus strains. Thus, the present invention relates to strains of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp, bulgaricus which secrete glucose to the milk substrate during fermentation, as well as to mixed cultures comprising the Streptococcus thermophilus strains and the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp, bulgaricus strains, starter cultures comprising the strains and dairy products manufactured with the cultures. The present method also relates to use of the strains for decreasing the lactose content of a fermented food product and for boosting growth of the probiotic BB-12®.
