Schematic diagram of the study to develop L. acidophilus EG008 strain. This diagram shows the overall process for developing an EG008 strain of L. acidophilus. The first step is the thermal adaptation of L. acidophilus EG004 strains through adaptive laboratory evolution. The second step is the process of selecting the colonies that have the single strain with the highest heat resistance among the various strains that have been thermally adapted. The final step is the in silico analysis step to identify and compare the whole genome sequence of L. acidophilus EG004 and EG008 strains, respectively.
