Oxygen Metabolism in Lactobacillus reuteri. DSM 17938 and PTA 4659
A previous study found that oxygen can promote the growth of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and PTA 4659 (Koendjbiharie, 2015). However, the presence of oxygen is a cause of H2O2 accumulation, which can result in impaired growth. The first part of this project was to investigate survivability of cells when treated with H2O2. The results revealed that the higher the concentration of H2O2, the lowe
