---|---|
Introduction | Lactobacillus species are normal flora of the human mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract, where they produce lactic acid and competitively inhibit pathogenic organisms. Lactobacillus are small, slender, nonmotile, Gram-positive bacilli in chains. Immature colonies appear smooth, convex, and translucent. Some species of Lactobacillus used commonly as probiotics. They are most commonly used for diarrhea, including infectious diarrhea and diarrhea in people taking antibiotics. Some people also use lactobacillus for general digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome; IBS, colic in infants, and many other conditions that involve the stomach and bowel. |
Alternative Names | Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus; L5 |
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus; L5 should be cultured under anaerobic or microaerophilic conditions at a temperature 42°C. The most commonly used growth medium is MRS broth, which provides the nutrients necessary for optimal bacterial growth. pH control is crucial to support cell viability
This strain is widely used in probiotic research, gastrointestinal health studies, and fermentation processes. It is particularly relevant in exploring its role in dairy fermentation and live biotherapeutics due to its natural presence in yogurt.
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus; L5 is generally rehydrated from lyophilized powder or freeze-dried form before use. The strain is reconstituted in an appropriate medium, usually MRS broth, followed by incubation at the optimal temperature.
This strain produces lactic acid as the main byproduct of carbohydrate fermentation. Additionally, it can produce other compounds such as exopolysaccharides and bioactive peptides, which contribute to probiotic effects.
