abstract

the species of lactobacillus are widely present in many natural environments that areimportant in fermented processes. among these species some belong to the lactic acid bacteria group that areuseful in fermented food. one of the species of lactobacilli group such as l. plantarum provides health benefits,but their identification is one of the main issue. in order to proceed with this project, conventional culturemethod and pcr primers have been employed to identify l. plantarum. according to the conventional culturemethod, colonies were gram-positive and catalase-negative in the form of coccoid-rod, short, long, thin and fine.under the pcr conditions, l. plantarum and l. brevis strains were detected in only one sample at 250c. inchemical technique, l. plantarum was separated from l. brevis in four cultures medium with 4-7% nacl wherel. brevis became inactive. the isolated l. plantarum that was used in the fermented cucumbers prevented thegrowth and development of pathogenic organisms.

Isolation and identification of Campylobacter jejuni from poultry carcasses using conventional culture methods and multiplex PCR assay

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne diarrhea in many countries. Poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. In this study, conventional culture and multiplex PCR methods were compared for the detection of C. jejuni isolated from poultry carcasses. A total of 100 samples, representing 20 broiler flocks, were collected from poultry carc...

Improvement of Fermented Cucumber Characteristics by Starter Culture of Lactobacillus plantarum, L. bulgaricus and S. thermophiles

ABSTRACT: Fermented cucumber is a traditional lactic acid fermentation that is related to the presence of microorganisms. In this study, the use of suitable L. plantarum starter culture with L.bulgaricus and S. thermophilus to improve the cucumber fermentation process with high quality has been studied. Cucumbers in brine containing 4 to 6% NaCl and 0.2 to 0.4% Inulin (w/v) were inoculated with...

Isolation and detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae from cell culture by culture and PCR.

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the major species of mycoplasmas which could contaminate cell cultures. Identification of M. pneuminae is significant because Mycoplasmas could contaminate and have unsuitable effect on the cell cultures. Rapid detection of these contaminations is so important and it could be significant role in preventing and controlling of contamination in cell cul...
