Strains that did not survive aerobic shaking at 200 rpm for 12 h were considered oxygen sensitive; those that survived for [approximately equal to]12-24 h were classified as aerotolerant, and those that survived for >24 h were classified as hyperaerotolerant (Figure 1).

Cellular Stress Responses and Gut Microbiota in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
To elucidate the ecological effect of high oral doses of specific gut-indigenous bacterial strains on other commensals early in life, here we conducted a preliminary culture-based study to quantify the effect of an aerobic (aerotolerant anaerobe with remarkably optimal growth at room air) gut-indigenous Lactobacillus plantarum strain (which we previously isolated from calves with the most potent inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and F5 and ability to survive acidic conditions and high bile salt concentrations; see [9]) on the clinical health and gut lactobacilli and coliform populations in the feces and intestinal mucosa of newborn bottle-fed calves, given the clinical relevance of mucosa-associated microbiota [10].
