FAQs Customer Reviews Related Products
What are the optimal growth conditions for Streptococcus thermophilus ?
Streptococcus thermophilus thrives best at temperatures between 37-42°C and requires a nutrient-rich medium that includes lactose or glucose as the primary carbohydrate source. Optimal pH conditions range from 6.0 to 7.0. Adequate aeration should also be ensured for maximum growth efficiency and productivity.
What are the health-promoting properties of Streptococcus thermophilus ?
Streptococcus thermophilus has been linked to several health benefits, including antioxidant activity, modulation of gut microbiota, and production of beneficial compounds like short-chain fatty acids and bioactive peptides. These properties support digestive health and may contribute to overall well-being.
How can Streptococcus thermophilus be stored to maintain its viability?
To preserve the viability of Streptococcus thermophilus , it should be stored at -80°C or below in a lyophilized or frozen state. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles as they can significantly reduce the bacterial count and efficacy. Proper storage ensures long-term stability and activity.
What genomic features make Streptococcus thermophilus suitable for industrial applications?
Streptococcus thermophilus possesses a robust genetic makeup that includes genes for lactose metabolism, exopolysaccharide production, and stress response mechanisms. These features contribute to its resilience and efficiency in industrial fermentation processes, making it a valuable strain for large-scale dairy production.
Are there any known safety concerns or undesirable traits associated with Streptococcus thermophilus ?
