Figure 1. Comparison of reuterin production among probiotic L. reuteri strains.

Figure 1

Reuterin was produced from L. reuteri strains 55730, 6475, 4659 and 5289 in glycerol solution three times in triplicate using a two-step fermentation process. Reuterin concentrations were determined using a modified Trp-HCl assay and HPLC-quantified reuterin as the standard. Reuterin concentrations were compared against concentrations of glycerol remaining in solution to yield a percentage of glycerol converted to reuterin. An asterisk (*) indicates that the amount of reuterin produced by 55730 is significantly different (P < 0.05) than the amounts produced by the other strains.
