Target Introduction
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.

FAQs Customer Reviews Related Products
What are the optimal storage conditions for Slackia exigua?
Slackia exigua should be stored at -80°C to maintain its viability and functionality. Proper storage ensures that the bacteria remain in a dormant state, preventing degradation and preserving their research utility. Researchers should avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent loss of viability.
How is Slackia exigua typically cultured in a laboratory setting?
Slackia exigua is cultured under anaerobic conditions using a specialized growth medium that supports the growth of anaerobic bacteria. The medium often includes components such as peptones, yeast extract, and essential vitamins. The culture should be incubated at 37°C for optimal growth.
What are the primary research applications of Slackia exigua?
Slackia exigua is primarily used in studies related to the human microbiome, particularly in investigating its role in gut health and disease. It is also utilized in the development of probiotics and therapeutic interventions targeting microbial dysbiosis.
How is the viability of Slackia exigua assessed after thawing?
The viability of Slackia exigua post-thaw is assessed by plating the bacteria on an appropriate anaerobic growth medium and incubating under anaerobic conditions. Colony-forming units (CFUs) are counted to determine the viable bacterial count, ensuring the culture remains effective for research purposes.
What are the common methods used for identifying Slackia exigua in microbiome studies?
In microbiome studies, Slackia exigua is identified using molecular techniques such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This method allows for precise identification and characterization of bacterial strains within complex microbial communities, facilitating accurate analysis of microbiome composition.
