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 gasseri; 39972 |
Lactobacillus gasseri; 39972 thrives in MRS (de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe) medium, a well-established medium for lactobacilli cultivation. The ideal culture condition for this strain includes an anaerobic environment at 37°C. These parameters are critical for maintaining the probiotic's growth rate, metabolic activity, and viability, ensuring reproducibility in research experiments.
Lactobacillus gasseri; 39972 is strictly for research use and is not intended for food manufacturing, medical procedures, or use in humans. This strain, while derived from human feces, is classified as a Risk Group 1 organism, meaning it poses minimal risk in laboratory environments but should not be applied in diagnostics or therapeutics.
The inoculum size of Lactobacillus gasseri; 39972 depends on the experimental design but generally ranges from 10^6 to 10^9 CFU/mL. Accurately calculating the inoculum is crucial for consistency in probiotic-related research, as variations in bacterial concentration can significantly affect the outcomes of microbiome interaction studies and probiotic efficacy tests.
Yes, Lactobacillus gasseri; 39972 can be co-cultured with other probiotics, provided the appropriate growth conditions are maintained. When used in combination with other strains, it may exhibit synergistic or competitive interactions, which are often of interest in studies investigating microbial ecosystems, probiotic efficiency, or interactions within the human gut microbiota. Proper experimental design is critical when combining multiple strains.
To maintain the viability of Lactobacillus gasseri; 39972, it is essential to establish proper anaerobic conditions throughout the experiment. Anaerobic chambers or sealed anaerobic containers with oxygen-scavenging systems should be used. Failure to maintain an oxygen-free environment may compromise the viability and metabolic activity of the bacteria, potentially leading to skewed experimental results.
