The growth phase of Streptococcus thermophilus; PCI1327 can be monitored by measuring optical density (OD) at 600 nm at regular intervals. Additionally, viable cell counts using plate counting methods can provide insights into the bacterial growth curve, helping to determine the logarithmic and stationary phases.
In case of contamination, discard the contaminated cultures and thoroughly clean the work area and equipment with appropriate disinfectants. Use aseptic techniques during inoculation and incubation to prevent future contamination. Regularly check cultures for purity by streaking on selective agar plates.
Successful fermentation with Streptococcus thermophilus; PCI1327 is indicated by a decrease in pH, increased lactic acid production, and a characteristic change in the texture and flavor of the fermented product. Regular monitoring of these parameters ensures the process is proceeding as expected.
The metabolic activity of Streptococcus thermophilus; PCI1327 can be assessed using assays that measure acid production, such as pH monitoring or titratable acidity tests. Additionally, enzymatic assays and metabolic profiling through chromatography can provide detailed insights into its metabolic pathways and activity levels.
To maintain genetic stability, Streptococcus thermophilus; PCI1327 should be periodically checked for genetic integrity using techniques like PCR and sequencing. Avoid repeated subculturing, and store stock cultures at -80°C. Employ cryoprotectants like glycerol during freezing to preserve DNA integrity and viability.
