Antifungal activity of two Lactobacillus strains with potential probiotic properties

Probiotic Potential of Lactobacillus Strains with Antifungal Activity Isolated from Animal Manure

The aim of the study was to isolate and characterize the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from animal manure. Among the thirty LAB strains, four strains, namely, KCC-25, KCC-26, KCC-27, and KCC-28, showed good cell growth and antifungal activity and were selected for further characterization. Biochemical and physiology properties of strains confirmed that the strains are related to the Lactobacillus ...

Probiotic Potential of Lactobacillus Strains with Antimicrobial Activity against Some Human Pathogenic Strains

The objective of this study was to isolate, identify, and characterize some lactic acid bacterial strains from human milk, infant feces, and fermented grapes and dates, as potential probiotics with antimicrobial activity against some human pathogenic strains. One hundred and forty bacterial strains were isolated and, after initial identification and a preliminary screening for acid and bile tol...

Potential of Probiotic Lactobacillus Strains as Food Additives

Selection of potential probiotic Lactobacillus strains from human milk

Live microorganisms, have beneficial effects on their host’s health, are called as probiotics. There are various possible sources to isolate these bacteria. The most important criterion is being human origin for human applications. In this study; human milk is used as isolation source because of constructive effects on neonates’ health. It is thought that lactic acid bacteria consisted in breas...

Probiotic Properties of Exopolysaccharide-Producing Lactobacillus Strains Isolated from Tempoyak.

Tempoyak is a functional Malaysian food (an acid-fermented condiment) which is produced from the pulp of the durian (Durio zibethinus) fruit. The current study aimed to isolate and identify potential exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing Lactobacillus strains from tempoyak for potential use as probiotics. Seven isolates (DUR2, DUR4, DUR5, DUR8, DUR12, DUR18, and DUR20) out of 44 were able to produc...
