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 lactis; 20421 |
Identification of Enterococcus lactis; 20421 can be achieved through molecular techniques such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing, PCR assays, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. These methods ensure accurate strain identification and confirmation of its genetic and phenotypic characteristics.
Long-term storage of Enterococcus lactis; 20421 involves freezing the culture at -80°C in the presence of a cryoprotectant like glycerol. This approach maintains the viability and genetic stability of the strain for future research applications.
Enterococcus lactis; 20421 is utilized in probiotic research to study its effects on gut health, its antimicrobial properties, and its role in enhancing the immune system. Researchers explore its potential for developing new probiotic products and therapeutic applications.
Quantification of Enterococcus lactis; 20421 can be performed using colony-forming unit (CFU) counts on selective media, flow cytometry, or quantitative PCR (qPCR). These methods provide accurate measurements of bacterial concentration in various samples.
Researchers may encounter challenges such as maintaining strain viability during storage, preventing contamination, and ensuring reproducibility in experimental results. Additionally, understanding its interactions within complex biological systems can be intricate and require careful consideration.
