Assessment of different zinc compounds on the growth kinetics of beneficial commensal bacteria

It is known zinc supplementation has a concentration-dependent effect on the growth of the normal microbiome.

In the range of 5-10 mg/L concentration, it may stimulate bacterial growth rates, however in larger concentrations (500 mg/L) it may exert an inhibitory effect. The effect of zinc (Zn) supplementation on microbial growth was studied thoroughly using Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Lactococcus lactis ATCC 19435, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 2341 isolates by qualified scientists at Dr. Bata Laboratories.
