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; 44046 |
To reconstitute Lactobacillus gasseri; 44046, a sterile medium like blood agar should be added to the freeze-dried product. After reconstitution, the bacterium should be incubated at 37°C in an anaerobic environment. This allows the cells to recover and resume metabolic activity, ensuring their viability for research applications. Proper reconstitution is critical to maintaining bacterial function during experiments.
The inoculum size for Lactobacillus gasseri; 44046 varies depending on the experimental design but typically ranges from 10^6 to 10^9 CFU per mL. Ensuring accurate inoculum size is vital for consistency across experiments, as variations can lead to differing outcomes, especially in probiotic-related research.
The viability of Lactobacillus gasseri; 44046 can be assessed through colony-forming unit (CFU) counts or using advanced techniques such as flow cytometry. Researchers typically plate the bacteria on blood agar or chocolate agar and incubate them anaerobically at 37°C. Counting the resulting colonies provides a reliable measure of viability, ensuring experimental accuracy.
When co-culturing Lactobacillus gasseri; 44046 with other microbes, it is important to optimize conditions for all species involved. Researchers must ensure the appropriate medium, pH, and anaerobic conditions are maintained. Careful monitoring of growth and interactions between the species is necessary to study microbial dynamics and probiotic effects in complex environments.
