Yes, I assume by the beginning of the name, (Lacto) ,that one would use some sort of milk based product such as kefir - but how could you get only Lactobacillus reuteri?

Do you know know how scientists isolate the bacteria to only one strain (or as close as possible) in a lab environment?

Hello. I have been doing some reading regarding the benefits of probiotics and am fascinated by it. I have concluded that I should start adding supplements or foods rich in helpful bacteria to my diet. Probiotic supplements are expensive (for me), so the next step is to "cultivate" them at home if possible. I have three questions: How do researchers isolate specific bacteria in order to conduct experiments? Can someone do something similar at home with ordinary "tools"? What ingredients are necessary to produce the various strains of the bacteria Lactobacillus reuteri? Thanks!
