This study investigated the optimal preservation approach to prepare human feces as inoculum for in vitro fermentations as an alternative to the use of fresh feces. The four treatments studied were: Treatment 1) fresh feces resuspended in dialysate solution + glycerol; Treatment 2) fresh feces resuspended in dialysate solution + glycerol and then stored at -80 degrees C; Treatment 3) fecal sample frozen with 15 g glycerol; and Treatment 4) fecal sample frozen. All the treatments contained 8.75 g of feces, 3.5 ml dialysate and 4.9 ml glycerol when inoculated in TIM-2 in vitro system. Treatment 1 (fresh fecal preparation) was used as a reference. The effects were evaluated in terms of i) metabolic activity and ii) composition of the microbiota using fermentation experiments in the TIM-2 in vitro system. In all treatments, high levels of acetate were produced followed by n-butyrate and propionate. However, the metabolic activity of the bacteria, in terms of short-chain fatty acid production, was affected by the different treatments. Microbiota composition was analyzed using the IS-pro profiling technique. Diversity in Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria and Verrucomicrobia and Proteobacteria groups seemed to be preserved in all treatments whereas. it was observed to decline in the Bacteroidetes group. Preparing a human fecal inoculum resuspended in dialysate solution with glycerol and then stored at 80 degrees C showed high similarities to the results obtained with fresh feces, and is proposed as the optimal way to freeze fecal material as an alternative to fresh feces for in vitro fermentation studies.
