Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The growth rate of Lb. rhamnosus yoba in the traditional maheu was determined at t = 0, 12, 24, and 36 h. One millilitre of the sample was aseptically taken from the maheu at a 12 hourly interval. Thereafter, serial decimal dilutions were carried out in peptone physiological salt solution (pH 7, 8.5 g / L NaCl, and 1 g / L neutralized bacteriological peptone from Oxoid). Diluents of 100 µL were plated onto de Man, Rogosa, and MRS agar (1.2 % agar, bacteriological peptone from Oxoid, added to de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe broth, Merck) in triplicate. MRS agar plates were incubated at 37 °C under anaerobic conditions in Gas Pack anaerobic jars (Becton Dickinson Microbiology Systems, Baltimore, Maryland, USA). Colonies on MRS agar were counted and expressed as colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU / mL) of Lb. rhamnosus yoba.

The probiotic and yeast strain used in this study were Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 (Danisco A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC-1118 (Lallemand Pty, Ontario, Canada), respectively.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 cells were grown by inoculating 1% (v/v) frozen stock culture into de Man, Rogosa, Sharpe (MRS) broth (Oxoid Ltd., Hampshire, England), followed by static incubation at 37 °C for 24 h. Yeast cells were propagated by inoculating 1% (v/v) frozen S. cerevisiae EC-1118 stock culture into yeast-malt (YM) broth (10 g/L dextrose (Sigma-Aldrich, Oakville, Ontario, Canada), 3 g/L yeast extract, 3 g/L malt extract and 5 g/L bacteriological peptone (all from Oxoid Ltd.), that was acidified to pH 5.0 with 1 M HCl and incubated statically at 30 °C for 24 h.
After two consecutive transfers, the microbial cultures were centrifuged (8000×g, 10 min, 4 °C) and washed twice with sterile 0.85% (w/v) NaCl. Working cultures were obtained by re-suspending the washed pellets to their initial volume with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) that was acidified to pH 3.0 using 90% lactic acid (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). All pH measurements were made using a Metrohm 713 pH meter (Herisau, Switzerland) calibrated with pH 4 and 7 buffers from Merck.

Motility Assay for Bacterial Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The motility of the strains was tested as described previously (Van Boeijen et al., 2010 (link)). Briefly, semisolid medium containing 0.25% (wt/vol) agar (Oxoid), 1% (wt/vol) bacteriological peptone (Oxoid), 0.5% (wt/vol) NaCl (Merck), 0.005% (wt/vol) 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (Sigma–Aldrich, The Netherlands) was inoculated by stabbing a single colony into the medium. After 3 days of incubation at 30∘C, motile strains showed a red cloudy pattern as a result of the reduction of 2,3,5- triphenyltetrazolium chloride to formazan caused by bacterial metabolism. The LO28 WT and immotile HHP variant 17 (Van Boeijen et al., 2010 (link)) were used as positive and negative control, respectively. Isolates which showed no or reduced motility at 30∘C were retested at 25∘C to confirm reduced motility, since it is know that motility is temperature dependent (Gründling et al., 2004 (link)).

The yeasts strains D. bruxellensis CBS 11270 and S. cerevisiae J672 9 (link) and the LAB strain L. vini 2FLAB5 isolated from a Swedish ethanol plant 6 (link) were used in this study.
L. vini was pregrown on Man–Rogosa–Sharpe (MRS) agar (Oxoid, Basingstoke, New Hampshire, England) in an anaerobic environment using a BD BBL™ GasPak™ Plus Anaerobic System (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).
Yeast extract–peptone–dextrose medium (YPD) contained 10 g/L yeast extract, 20 g/L bacteriological peptone (both from Oxoid), and 20 g/L d(+) glucose (VWR International Ltd., Poole, England). Solid media also contained 16 g/L agar. For testing the influence of ethanol on flocculation, 10, 50, or 100 g/L ethanol were added to liquid YPD. Synthetic medium contained KH2PO4 18.75 g/L, (NH4)2HPO4 6 g/L, MgSO4·7H2O 1.13 g/L, yeast nitrogen base (Difco™; Becton Dickinson and Company) 6.5 g/L, and glucose 40 g/L. Several supplements of synthetic medium were tested: 5 g/L yeast extract or a mixture of ergosterol (18 µg/L) and Tween 80 (3 g/L) combined with 20 g/L bacteriological peptone or all 20 proteinogenic amino acids (100 mg/L each).

Stationary-phase cultures grown overnight at 37°C in 4 ml LB were hundredfold diluted in test tubes containing 4 ml of simulated gastric fluid (Beumer et al., 1992 (link)). The composition of this medium was 8.3 g/l bacteriological peptone, 3.5 g/l glucose, 2.05 g/l NaCl, 0.6 g/l KH2PO4, 0.11 g/l CaCl2, 0.37 g/l KCl, 0.05 g/l bile salts (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK), 0.1 g/l lysozyme (66200 U/mg, Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland), and 13.3 mg/l pepsin (47 U/g, Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland), and the pH was adjusted to 2.50 with HCl. The suspensions were incubated at 37°C for 6 h. Every hour, 100 μl samples were taken, serially diluted in potassium phosphate buffer (10 mM; pH 7.00) and subsequently plated on LB agar. D-values (time required for a 10-fold reduction in viable cells) were determined by identification of the log-linear Bigelow model (for the ΔwaaC mutant) or the log-linear model with shoulder (for the wild-type and other deletion mutants) using GInaFiT (Geeraerd et al., 2005 (link)).

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.
