Cassava pulp was fermented with pure strains of Saccharomyces cerevisae and two bacteria namely Lactobacillus delbruckii and Lactobacillus coryneformis for 3 days. The squeezed liquid from the fermented pulp was used to ferment cassava peels for 7 days. Analysis of the dried fermented peels revealed that there was a significant (P < 0.05) increase in the protein content of the cassava peels fer...

Lactobacillus delbruckii, Lactobacillus coryneformis, and a Saccharomyces sp., previously found among 214 isolates to be the highest producers of linamarase, amylase, and lysine were inoculated separately or mixed into cassava mash and fermented with, or without dewatering, for 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h. At the end of the fermentation period, the mash was converted to garri by heating over a gas...

in the present study lactic acid production was enhanced by optimizing the three process variables viz; inoculum size, temperature and ph using three factor five level ccrd (central composite rotatable design) by lactobacillus delbruckii under smf (submerged fermentation process). paneer (dairy by-product) whey was used as sole substrate for lactic acid production. design expert 8.0.2.0 softwar...

Objective: The objective of the present study was to collect different Lactic acid bacterial strains from culture collection centers and screen their functional probiotic characteristics such as acid tolerance, bile tolerance, antibacterial activity and antibiotic sensitivity for their commercial use. Materials and Methods: Acid and bile tolerence of selected LAB(Lactic acid bacteria) was deter...

Edson (1947, 1951), however, pointed out that further purification would be needed before this hypothesis could be tested satisfactorily. A later report showed that the purified enzyme was not a typical flavoprotein (Edson & Cousins, 1953). Since lactate-oxidizing enzymes resembling the enzyme of Myco. phlei have been extracted from Mycobacterium sregmati8, Mycobacterium tuberculo8i8 var. homin...

Protoplasts of a respiration-deficient rho strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were incubated with mitochondria isolated from various respiration-competent yeast species under conditions enabling transplacement of mitochondria. Respiration-competent cybrids were selected by plating the protoplasts on agar media containing a non-fermentable energy source. The resulting cybrids contained nuclear D...
