Manufacturer high quality Streptococcus thermophilus power

Introduction

 

Streptococcus thermophilus is a Gram-positive bacteria and a homofermentative facultative anaerobe, of the viridans group.It tests negative for cytochrome, oxidase and catalase, and positive for alpha-hemolytic activity. It is non-motile and does not form endospores.

It is also classified as a lactic acid bacterium. S. thermophilus is found in fermented milk products. It is not a probiotic (it does not survive the stomach in healthy humans) and is generally used in the production of yogurt, alongside Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. The two species are synergistic, and S.s. thermophilus probably provides L.d. bulgaricus with folic acid and formic acid which it uses for purine synthesis.

Usage

 

Streptococcus thermophilus is one of the most widely used bacteria in the dairy industry. Although its genus, Streptococcus, includes some pathogenic species, food industries consider Streptococcus thermophilus a safer bacterium than many other Streptococcus species. yogurt and cheese that contain live cultures of Streptococcus thermophilus are thought to be beneficial to health. Live cultures of Streptococcus thermophilus make it easier for people who are lactose-intolerant to digest dairy products. The bacteria break down lactose, the sugar in milk that lactose-intolerants find difficult to digest.
