At 35 d of age, 6 broiler chickens per treatment were chosen and sacrificed. The intestinal segment was removed immediately and 3 g of fresh digesta from ileum was collected sterilely. The samples were put on ice until they were transported to the laboratory for enumeration of microbial populations. Each sample was serially diluted from 1/10 to 1/107 in sterilized physiological saline solution (NaCl 85%). Then 0.1 mL of each diluted sample was plated onto the following media. E. coli was cultured on eosin methylene blue agar (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) at 37 °C for 24 h. Lactobacilli bacteria were counted on de Man, Rogosa, sharpe agar (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) after incubation for 48 to 72 h at 37 °C.

Feces samples (n = 38) of breast-fed infants in Songklanakarind Hospital were collected with the necessary approval from the Ethics Committees of the Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University (REC.61-064-4-2). Infants were enrolled according to the following criteria: age < 6 months, exclusively received breast milk with predominant LAB strains, vaginal delivery, healthy infants, mothers without present or past underlying adverse medical conditions, and full-term pregnancy. The feces were immediately cultured on de Man Rogosa Sharpe agar (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) at 37°C for 48 h under anaerobic conditions. After incubation, each of the isolated colonies were picked and stored at −80°C in BHI broth with 30% glycerol until testing.

Screening Antifungal Activity of Lactic Acid Bacteria

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Qualitative analysis of the antifungal activity was carried out in accordance with Strom’s method [16 ]. The medium used for the growth of A. flavus was PDA with a mold spore concentration of 106 spores/mL. Lactic acid bacteria isolates were chosen to detect the presence of antifungal activity with a streak plate method on de man rogosa sharpe agar (Merck). Aspergillus flavus was inoculated on the medium using the spread plate method, and the LAB isolates were subsequently inoculated by the streak plate method. The results of inoculation were grown under anaerobic conditions for 24 h at a temperature of 37°C. After incubation, if a clear zone was formed in the medium, the LAB isolates were considered to have antifungal activity and were reselected for the next screening.

Enumeration of Lactobacillus in Fermented Plant-Based Milk

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microbiological analysis included the determination of the cell number of Lactobacillus strains in the bean-based plant substitute of fermented milk by the pour plate method with two parallel independent replicates of each of the analyzed beverage. The De Man–Rogosa–Sharpe agar (Merck KGaA) was used for the analysis. The Petri dishes with inoculations were incubated at 37 °C for 72 h under anaerobic conditions using an anaerobic jar equipped with Anaerocult A (Merck KGaA). After the completion of incubation, the grown colonies were counted. For colony counting, the Petri dishes in which the number of grown colonies was in the range of 30–300 colonies were chosen. The final results were converted to the number of colony-forming units per gram of the product (CFU/g), and then converted to logarithm (log10 CFU/g).

Samples of 25 g were added to 225 mL physiological saline (0.85 NaCl%) and homogenized in a stomacher (Lab Stomacher, London, UK) for 1 min. In determining the number of lactic acid bacteria, de Man Rogosa Sharpe Agar (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) was used and incubation was carried out at 30 °C for 48 h under anaerobic conditions (Anaerocult A, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Mannitol Salt Phenol Red Agar (Merck) was used for the enumeration of Micrococcus/Staphylococcus, and the plates were incubated aerobically at 30 °C for 48 h. Enterobacteriaceae were determined on Violet Red Bile Dextrose Agar (Merck), and the plates were incubated at 30 °C for 48 h under anaerobic conditions (Anaerocult A, Merck) [23 ].

Tarhana samples were taken every 24 h during fermentation. The samples were transferred aseptically into 0.1% peptone water and the dilutions were mixed or spread on different media and incubated under the appropriate conditions. For mesophilic and thermophilic lactic acid bacteria, de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe agar (Merck, KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) containing 0.02% sodium azide was incubated for 48 h at 30°C and 42°C, respectively and for yeasts and moulds, Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar (Oxoid, England) containing supplements (Oxoid, England) was incubated at 30°C for 48 h [19 (link)].

Microbiological analyses were performed on faecal samples (collected daily from one piglet per pen) and digesta samples collected from piglets that were killed at the end of the experiment. Approximately 1 g of faeces and 10 g of digesta were suspended in a pre-reduced salt medium(18) and homogenised in a laboratory paddle blender (Seward Stomachers® 80 Biomaster; Lab System) for 2 min. Serial 10-fold dilutions were then prepared in the same medium and samples (0·1 ml) were plated on selective media. Haemolytic E. coli and coliform bacteria were enumerated on blood agar (Oxoid) and MacConkey agar (Merck), respectively, after aerobic incubation at 37°C for 1 d, whereas lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were enumerated on de Man–Rogosa–Sharpe agar (Merck) after anaerobic incubation at 37°C for 3 d.

At d 56, 1 bird per replicate was selected and slaughtered for the collection of breast meat samples. The meat samples were stored in the refrigerator at 4 to 6oC for 3 days. After 3 days, the meat samples were removed and allowed to thaw and meat samples were analyzed using methods by Domanska and Rozanska (2003) . Using sterile spoons, 10g of breast meat was weighed aseptically into a sterile blender jar. About 90ml of sterile Butter eld's phosphate diluent or Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) was added and blended for two minutes. From the prepared homogenate about 10 serial dilutions were prepared by diluting 1 ml of homogenate with 9 ml of 0.1% peptone water and spread plated (0.1 ml) on a range of enumeration agar plates: Wilkins-Chalgren agar (Merck GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) for estimation of clostridium counts, MacConkey agar (MAC) for coliforms; plate count agar (PCA) for heterotrophic bacteria (total aerobic plate counts); De Man Rogosa Sharpe agar (Merck KGaA, Foster City, California, United States) for estimation of lactobacilli count, and brilliant green agar (Merck Ltd, Mumbai, India) for estimation of salmonella count. The agar plates were incubated (Thermo Fisher Scienti c Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) at 370C for 24 hours. Microbial counts were expressed as colony-forming units (CFU) of microorganisms per gram of fresh sample.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
