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 jensenii; 44003 # |
Lactobacillus jensenii; 44003 should be stored at -80°C to maintain its viability and stability over time. It is crucial to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as they can reduce the viability of the bacteria and affect the reproducibility of experimental results. Proper storage ensures the longevity of the strain for extended research use.
This strain is widely used in studies investigating the role of vaginal microbiota, immune modulation, and host-microbe interactions. Researchers often employ it to explore its probiotic potential and antimicrobial activity, particularly in the context of women's health. Its high viability and stability make it a reliable model organism in microbiome-related studies.
Prior to experimental use, Lactobacillus jensenii; 44003 should be thawed carefully and reconstituted in an appropriate growth medium, such as MRS broth. It is important to handle the strain in sterile conditions to prevent contamination. Researchers should incubate the bacteria under anaerobic or microaerophilic conditions, depending on the specific experimental setup.
When culturing Lactobacillus jensenii; 44003, it is important to maintain an anaerobic or microaerophilic environment, as these conditions closely mimic its natural habitat. The pH, temperature, and nutrient composition of the culture medium also need to be optimized for maximal growth. Typically, growth is conducted at 37°C under controlled atmospheric conditions.
