Microbial Culture Techniques

A Bioflex microbiological culture, or Bioflex microbial culture, is a method of multiplying microbial organisms. The microbial organisms reproduce themselves in a predetermined culture medium. This is done under controlled laboratory conditions. 

The Bioflex microbial culture methods are usually selected according to the agents being cultured. The most common methods used by Bioflex microbial cultures are:

Broth cultures

In this method for Bioflex microbial cultures, microbial culture is liquid culture. The desired Bioflex microbial culture is suspended in a liquid nutrient medium, in an upright flask. It allows a scientist to grow up large amounts of bacteria for a variety of downstream applications.

Agar plates

Bioflex Microbiol Cultures are prepared in Petri dishes. These Petri dishes come in various sizes. They have a thin layer of agar-based growth medium. A Bioflex Microbial culture is selected and placed in these plates. Then these plates are incubated at the optimal temperature. It helps in growing bacteria. 

Stab cultures

Bioflex Stab cultures are similar to agar plates method, but it uses solid agar instead liquid agar and placed in a test tube instead of petri dish. The Bioflex microbial culture is introduced via an inoculation needle or a pipette tip in the . It is stabbed into the center of the agar. Bioflex microbial culture will grow in the punctured area.

Culture collections

Bioflex Microbial culture collections focus on the acquisition, authentication, production, preservation, cataloguing and distribution of viable cultures. These Bioflex microbial culture are of standard reference microorganisms, cell lines and other materials for research in microbial systematics.

Solid plate culture 

In solid plate cultures, Bioflex microorganisms are grown at temperatures of 50 to 70 degrees C. The low acyl clarified gellan gum has been proven to be the preferred gelling agent comparing to agar for the counting or isolation or both of the above thermophilic bacteria

Bioflex is best nutraceutical company in India producing all types of microbial cultures.

Digestive Enzyme Supplements

Our body absorbs protein by breaking it up into smaller molecules. For this chemical reaction, we need digestive enzymes in our body. Digestive enzymes are essential speeding up this chemical process of breaking down molecules like fats, proteins, and carbs into even smaller molecules that can be quickly absorbed by the stomach. The change in the shape of the enzymes makes them weaker, and they are unable to perform their  tasks. The functions of the enzymes are dependent on their shape.  Heat, diseases, or chemical conditions can damage them and change their shape.  Digestive enzymes are naturally produced in our bodies. They are produced in the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine. The three main types of digestive enzymes produced by our body are: Proteases:  It breaks down the protein into small peptides and amino acids Lipases:  It breaks down the fat into three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule Amylases:  It breaks down t...

Microbiota and dysbiosis

  Written By: Dr. Senthil Subramani Biotechnologist | 10 years of experience The composition of the gut microbiota is dynamic so that it varies both in the type and in the abundance of the microbes (mainly bacteria & yeast) throughout life. Hence, the composition of the microbiota of a newborn is an emerging stage and is modified by various internal and external factors that influence its development during all stages of life. The microbiota of an infant is totally different from that of a child, a young person, an adult, or an elderly person. In addition to this physiological fact, the microbial composition of an individual is influenced by other factors that can alter the balance of the gut microbiota. The factors which cause the alteration of the microbiota composition are known as microbial disruptors. The milieu of the gut, “dysbiosis” means the condition in which the imbalance or maladaptation microbial ecosystem, causing the predominance of certain ...

Probiotics: The Good Bacteria

The word Probiotic is derived from Latin, which means “for life.” Long ago, when people were not aware of the existence of probiotics, even then, the good bacteria were consumed as a part of fermented foods such as bread, kefir, kumis, cheese, beer, and wine. Probiotics refer to the live bacteria that are beneficial for health. They are also termed as “good bacteria” because they reduce the harmful bacteria in the gut and keep the digestive tract healthy. A healthy gut, in turn, helps in maintaining proper body functions. The probiotics can be consumed through fermented foods or health supplements. The critical health benefits associated with probiotics consumption are: Probiotics are well known for their ability to cure diarrhea . Diarrhea generally occurs as a side effect of antibiotic consumption. The probiotic bacteria , such as  Lactobacillus rhamnosus ,  Lactobacillus casei , and  Saccharomyces boulardii ,  are known to be effective in curing d...
