Introduction | The Eggerthellaceae are a family of Gram-positive, rod- or coccus-shaped Actinobacteria. It is the sole family within the order Eggerthellales. Members of this family are mostly anaerobic, non-motile, asaccharolytic and do not form spores. Eggerthellaceae species are commonly isolated from human and animal faeces and other human sources such as the colon, vagina, oral cavity and blood. |
Alternative Names | Slackia equolifaciens |
Slackia equolifaciens thrives under anaerobic conditions at 37°C. Using a nutrient-rich medium such as GAM supplemented with additional growth factors ensures optimal bacterial growth and viability for research applications.
Slackia equolifaciens is typically administered to animal models via oral gavage, allowing for precise dosage and delivery. This method enables researchers to study its effects on gut microbiota composition and host health in a controlled experimental environment.
The metabolic activity of Slackia equolifaciens can be studied using techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze the production of metabolites, including equol. These methods help in understanding the metabolic pathways and their implications for human health.
The presence of Slackia equolifaciens can be confirmed using molecular techniques such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing or species-specific PCR assays. These methods provide accurate identification and quantification of the bacterium in various samples.
The probiotic effects of Slackia equolifaciens can be evaluated in vitro using co-culture systems with intestinal cell lines. Researchers can monitor changes in cell viability, cytokine production, and barrier function to assess the bacterium's beneficial properties.
