Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria from Sabah (North Borneo) stingless bees for probiotic and food applications

Lactic Acid Bacteria: Probiotic Applications

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a heterotrophic Gram-positive bacteria which under goes lactic acid fermentations and leads to production of lactic acid as an end product. LAB includes Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Lactococcus and Streptococcus which are grouped together in the family lactobacillaceae. LAB shows numerous antimicrobial activities due to production of antibacterial and a...

Isolation and Characterization of Potential Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria from Human Infant Fecal Samples

Lactose intolerance, diarrhea, colon cancer and various gastrointestinal disorders are most commonly found in the developing countries. Control of these could be achieved by potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria. Primary aim of this study was to isolate lactic acid bacteria from the feces of 25 days old breast fed infants and analyzing their probiotic properties such as acid resistance, bi...

Probiotic characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from swine intestine

AIM A study was conducted with the objective to isolate probiotic microorganisms from swine intestine. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study 63 isolates (24 caeca, 24 colon mucosal scrapings, and 15 rectal swab samples) were collected from Large White Yorkshire pigs. The isolates were inoculated and grown in de Man Rogosa Sharpe broth at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 48 h and subjected to morphological ...

Isolation, Characterization, Determination of Probiotic Properties of Lactic Acid Bacteria from Human Milk

s: Probiotic mean live microorganisms that have beneficial effects on their host’s health. Although probiotic strains can be isolated from many sources; for human applications the main criteria is being human origin. Breast milk is an important nutrient source for neonates. Lots of studies showed that this fluid has beneficial effects on the health of neonates. One reason of being beneficial is...
