Target Introduction | |
---|---|
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; BR-1-16 |
Enterococcus lactis; BR-1-16 should be cultured at 37°C under aerobic conditions in an appropriate medium such as MRS broth. These conditions support optimal bacterial growth and metabolic activity, ensuring reliable experimental results.
Verification of Enterococcus lactis; BR-1-16 identity can be performed using 16S rRNA sequencing, PCR assays, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. These molecular techniques confirm the strain's genetic and phenotypic characteristics.
Growth assessment of Enterococcus lactis; BR-1-16 can be done using optical density measurements at 600 nm (OD600), colony-forming unit (CFU) counts on agar plates, and metabolic activity assays. These methods provide insights into the bacterial growth kinetics.
Enterococcus lactis; BR-1-16 is used in research to study its probiotic properties, antimicrobial activities, and potential health benefits. It is a valuable model organism in microbiological and biomedical research, particularly in investigating gut health.
The metabolic activity of Enterococcus lactis; BR-1-16 can be studied using HPLC to analyze fermentation products, pH measurements to track acid production, and enzyme activity assays. These methods help understand the metabolic processes of the bacterium.
