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; 58231T |
Slackia equolifaciens; 58231T can be introduced into in vivo models via oral gavage, ensuring precise dosage and delivery. This method allows researchers to study its effects on gut microbiota composition and host health in a controlled experimental environment.
For in vitro experiments, prepare Slackia equolifaciens; 58231T by culturing it in an anaerobic chamber using a suitable growth medium. Ensure the culture reaches the desired optical density (typically OD600 of 0.6-0.8) before using it in experimental setups.
The presence of Slackia equolifaciens; 58231T 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.
Scaling up requires maintaining anaerobic conditions in larger bioreactors, ensuring a consistent nutrient supply, and monitoring growth parameters closely. Optimization of these conditions is crucial for achieving high biomass yields while preserving bacterial viability and functionality.
Assess immunomodulatory effects by co-culturing Slackia equolifaciens; 58231T with immune cells and measuring cytokine production using ELISA. Flow cytometry can also be employed to analyze changes in immune cell populations, providing comprehensive insights into the bacterium's impact on the immune system.
