Functional Assays
Capsule: Is it able to withstand Stomach pH and protease conditions? We must test the functionality of the complete capsule, to see if it can withstand the conditions present in the stomach. This can be done experimentally by recreating the stomach conditions in the lab, and seeing the effects on the bacteria. This could include quantifying the number of bacteria broken down.
Trehalose Functionality: Does it help protect against dessication? As well as testing for the presence of trehalose, it may be useful to test to see if it performs its required function within our cells ie to protect against dessicating conditions.
- As trehalose is naturally present in E.coli, is it ok to assume that its presence will protect against dessication?
