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; E604 |
Clostridium beijerinckii preparation involves culturing the bacterium in a sterilized nutrient-rich medium under anaerobic conditions. The medium typically includes essential nutrients and salts, adjusted to an optimal pH for bacterial growth. This preparation is crucial for ensuring the bacterium's viability and activity in subsequent research applications.
Key conditions for culturing Clostridium beijerinckii include maintaining strict anaerobic conditions, an optimal temperature around 37°C, and controlled pH levels. The nutrient medium should be rich and sterilized to support bacterial growth, with the culturing duration adjusted based on the research objectives.
Common challenges include maintaining anaerobic conditions, preventing contamination, and optimizing nutrient supply. Variations in temperature, pH, and substrate concentration can affect fermentation efficiency. Additionally, genetic stability and strain degeneration must be monitored continuously.
Clostridium beijerinckii is used to study its effects on the gut microbiome, particularly its production of butyric acid which supports gut health. Research involves culturing the bacterium under specific conditions and analyzing its impact on gut microbial communities and overall health.
