Introduction | Enterococcus are lactic acid bacteria; LAB comprising both pathogenic and commensal microorganisms ubiquitous in environment even as gut symbionts. They are extensively studied as potential candidate probiotics. Several number of Enterococcus strains have been reported to produce antimicrobial compounds including bacteriocins. Bacteriocin production have be applied to preservation of a wide range of food products and is now being considered as a probiotic trait. Besides, bacteriocins are considered as promising alternative to fight emerging antimicrobial resistance. Enterococcus probiotics can be used in treatment and/or prevention of certain human and animal diseases such as alleviation of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms and antibiotic-induced diarrhea and prevention of different functional and chronic intestinal diseases. Moreover, some Enterococcus exhibit anticarcinogenic, hypocholesterolemic, as well as immune regulation effects. |
Alternative Names | Enterococcus faecium; HA3013 |
Enterococcus faecium; HA3013 should be cultured in 2216E medium supplemented with 0.2% sodium propionate at 30°C under aerobic conditions. These specific conditions support optimal growth and viability for experimental applications.
Enterococcus faecium; HA3013 was isolated from marine sediment. This unique source contributes to its distinct characteristics and potential applications in marine microbiology and environmental studies.
Enterococcus faecium; HA3013 offers unique insights due to its marine origin. Its ability to thrive in specific conditions makes it a valuable model for studying probiotic functions and interactions within different environments.
Techniques for analyzing the growth of Enterococcus faecium; HA3013 include measuring optical density (OD) at 600 nm, colony-forming unit (CFU) counts, and microscopic examination to monitor cell morphology and density.
Metabolic activity of Enterococcus faecium; HA3013 can be assessed using assays such as resazurin reduction, which measures cellular respiration. Cultures are incubated with resazurin, and the reduction of the dye, indicated by a color change, is quantified using a spectrophotometer. This provides insights into the metabolic health and activity of the bacteria under various conditions.
