| Figure 6: Bacterial cell culture characterization for L reuteri strains in a simulated intestinal fluid (SIF), (pH = 6.8, 24 h). The variation in bacterial viable cell count and cell culture absorbance of (b) L. reuteri NCIMB -11951, (c) -701359, and (d) -702656, in addition to (a) L. acidophilus ATCC 314, was determined in micro-anaerobic conditions. The SIF used contained glucose (5.5 g/L), yeast extract (3.5 g/L), pancreatin (2 g/L), oxgall (1.5 g/L), pectin (2 g/L), inulin (0.54 g/L) fructooligosaccharides (0.85 g/L), starch (3 g/L), and monobasic potassium phosphate (KH2PO4, 3.3 g/L). The data is presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). |
