1.4.1. Safety Aspects of Probiotics Today‚ there are evidences that probiotic strains used as commercial bacteria are safe to use in applications. The safety of the probiotic products is appraised with the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics and the statistics of used microorganisms (Çakır 2003). Safety aspects of probiotic bacteria include the following requirements. 1. Strains for human use are preferred to be human origin. 2. They are isolated from healthy human gastrointestinal tract. 3

Third‚ we will inoculate the test tubes containing the appropriate medium with L. acidophilus and S. epidemidis using aseptic techniques. Refer to pages 91-93 of the lab manual for step-by-step instructions. The MRS broth will be inoculated with L. acidophilus and the nutrient broth will be inoculated with S. epidermis. The final step is to observe the microbial growth and record observations. Check the samples in the

Aseptic Technique & Culturing Microbes Questions A. What is the difference between a bactericidal and bacteriostatic agent? What is the difference between sterilization and disinfection? Control of growth refers to the prevention of growth of microorganisms. This control is affected in two basic ways: by killing microorganisms or by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms

Experiment 9: Growth curve of Serratia marcescens Abstract Bacteria grows by binary fission. The aim of this experiment is to follow the growth of Serratia marcescens in nutrient broth at 37oCby recording the changes in turbidity (cloudiness) by measuring the absorbance of visible light (600 nm) and also to prove that there is an increase in the cell number and not just in mass during the growth. In the experiment we measure the full growth curve of Serratia marcescens by measuring the absorbance

Cultures * The main (starter) cultures in yogurt are Lactobacillus bulgaricus andStreptococcus thermophilus. The function of the starter cultures is to ferment lactose (milk sugar) to produce lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid decreases pH and causes the milk to clot‚ or form the soft gel that is characteristic of yogurt. The fermentation of lactose also produces the flavor compounds that are characteristic of yogurt. Lactobacillus bulgaricus andStreptococcus thermophilus are the only 2
