“…Cell mass production using L. gasseri CRL1320, L. reuteri CRL1324 and L. salivarius CRL1328 was maximal when grown in free pH with MRS without agitation. In accordance, maximal biomass 4.12 g/L was produced using a probiotic L. reuteri strain growing in batch conditions in MRS double-carbon medium, with pH adjusted to 6.5 and static conditions at 37 • C [46]; nevertheless, in this study, with similar growth conditions, higher biomass for this bacterium was obtained. In agreement with our results, maximal cell biomass production using L. salivarius was also produced in MRS initial pH of 6.1 [47].…”

Probiotic formula for the vaginal tract must contain high numbers of viable beneficial bacteria that maintain their characteristics during the production and further storage, in order to exert the claimed probiotic effect. Four probiotic strains—Lactobacillus gasseri CRL1320, Limosilactobacillus reuteri CRL1324, Ligilactobacillus salivarius CRL1328 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1332—originally isolated from vagina of healthy women exhibiting beneficial properties were evaluated. Therefore, the optimization of growth parameters and dry biomass production with high viability while preserving probiotic features of strains is a great challenge. Different growth conditions in MRS medium were set up in a laboratory bioreactor; two initial pH and agitation were recorded speeds during static or controlled fermentations. Production conditions of 37 °C with controlled pH 6.5 and 5.5-MRS with 150 and 75 rpm stirring speeds were used for CRL1329 and CRL1332 strains, respectively, while static and free pH MRS for CRL1324 and CRL1328 probiotics allowed us to obtain maximal cell viability counts. However, during 12 h of fermentation, biomass yields of 19.3, 16.2 and 15.2 g/L were achieved when CRL1329, CRL1328 and CRL1324 probiotic strains were grown in static and free pH MRS. The highest biomass yield for CRL1332 strain was produced under controlled MRS-initial pH 6.5 and 75 rpm fermentation conditions. To preserve probiotic high biomass viability, freeze-drying was carried out in the presence of different cryoprotective agents. Thus, the highest viable numbers (10.9–11.8 log CFU/g) with survival rates between 91.3 and 95.6% were attained in the presence of 10% trehalose (L. reuteri and L. salivarius), lactose (L. rhammosus) and lactose + trehalose + sucrose mix (L. gasseri). When stability during post-freeze-drying storage was evaluated, probiotic strains showed a remarkably higher viability recovery when stored at 4 °C than at 25 °C for 12 and 3 months, respectively. In addition, surface characteristics of vaginal probiotics were affected to different extents during storage depending on the strain, protective agent and storage time/temperature. Critical factors for growth conditions, drying process and storage stability of probiotic lactobacilli strains were optimized in view to preserve cell high viability and surface features for the design of vaginal probiotic formula.
