An in vitro simulated chicken gut model was proposed for studying the phytase activity of selected bacteria such as Streptococcus thermophilus, Sporosarcina pasteurii, Sporosarcina globispora, and Sporosarcina psychrophila using known probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus helveticus as a control. The selected bacteria were viable in the intestinal lumen and produced extracellular phytase at optimal p ...

We first collected fresh urine and stabilized the urine with calcium hydroxide. This prevented any significant loss of urea which allowed it to then be used for the MICP process. We used Sporosarcina pasteurii bacter ...
