Introduction | Clostridium is a genus of rod-shaped, usually Gram-positive bacteria, members of which are found in soil, water, and the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals. The majority of species are obligate anaerobes. As the predominant bacteria in gut, Clostridium species exert lots of benefits to body health via interacting with intestine directly or indirectly. Clostridium species are potent candidates to alleviate dysfunctions and disorders in intestine, they have been reported to attenuate inflammation and allergic diseases effectively owing to their distinctive biological activities. Their cellular components and metabolites, like butyrate, secondary bile acids and indolepropionic acid, play a probiotic role primarily through energizing intestinal epithelial cells, strengthening intestinal barrier and interacting with immune system. In view of their salutary performances, Clostridium species have a huge potential as probiotics. |
Alternative Names | Clostridium beijerinckii |
Clostridium beijerinckii is studied for its potential probiotic properties. Researchers examine its ability to produce beneficial metabolites, modulate the gut microbiota, and enhance intestinal health. These studies aim to identify its benefits for human health and develop new probiotic formulations.
Clostridium beijerinckii should be stored at -80°C to maintain its viability. Before use, it is recommended to thaw the culture on ice and promptly inoculate it into the growth medium under anaerobic conditions to ensure optimal cell recovery and activity.
To culture Clostridium beijerinckii, start by preparing an anaerobic growth medium, such as Reinforced Clostridial Medium (RCM). Inoculate the thawed culture into the medium and incubate at 37°C. Ensure the culture environment is strictly anaerobic to promote proper growth and metabolic activity.
To prevent contamination, use sterile techniques throughout the cultivation process. This includes autoclaving all media and equipment, working within a laminar flow hood, and regularly monitoring cultures for signs of contamination. Proper sealing of anaerobic containers also helps maintain sterility.
Quality control measures include verifying the strain identity through genetic sequencing, checking for contamination by plating on selective media, and routinely testing for consistent metabolite production. These steps ensure the reliability and reproducibility of experimental results.
