The anti-mold activity of 397 strains of lactic acid bacteria was evaluated using both the spot method in Petri plates and coculture in liquid medium. The study led to the selection of 34 strains isolated from table olives or olive brines, 15 strains from dairy products, and 10 strains from sourdoughs, all able to inhibit a strain of Penicillium crustosum and/or a strain of Aspergillus section Nidulantes, prevailing in two Calabrian olive brines. Seven representative strains were identified as Lactobacillus pentosus (four strains) and Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis (three strains) and are currently under testing for their antifungal activity during table olive fermentation. This research constitutes an initial contribution to the control of fungal growth and mycotoxin accumulation during table olive fermentation. The selected strains could be used as adjunct cultures in table olive fermentation, allowing for the biological control of table olive safety.

Traditional sourdoughs in Bulgaria were almost extinct during the centralized food production system. However, a rapidly developing trend of sourdough revival in the country is setting the demand for increased production and use of commercial starter cultures. The selection of strains for such cultures is based on geographical specificity and beneficial technological properties. In this connection, the aim of this study was to isolate, identify and characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts from typical Bulgarian sourdoughs for the selection of strains for commercial sourdough starter cultures. Twelve samples of typical Bulgarian sourdoughs were collected from different geographical locations. All samples were analyzed for pH, total titratable acidity and dry matter content. Enumeration of LAB and yeast was also carried out. Molecular identification by 16S rDNA sequence analysis was performed for 167 LAB isolates, and 106 yeast strains were identified by ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rRNA gene partial sequence analysis. The LAB strains were characterized according to their amylolytic and proteolytic activity and acidification capacity, and 11 strains were selected for further testing of their antimicrobial properties. The strains with the most pronounced antibacterial and antifungal activity are listed as recommended candidates for the development of starter cultures for sourdoughs or other food products.

Fermentation is widely used in the processing of dairy, meat, and plant products. Due to the growing popularity of plant diets and the health benefits of consuming fermented products, there has been growing interest in the fermentation of plant products and the selection of microorganisms suitable for this process. The review provides a brief overview of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their use in fermentation of legumes and legume-based beverages. Its scope also extends to prebiotic ingredients present in legumes and legume-based beverages that can support the growth of LAB. Legumes are a suitable matrix for the production of plant-based beverages, which are the most popular products among dairy alternatives. Legumes and legume-based beverages have been successfully fermented with LAB. Legumes are a natural source of ingredients with prebiotic properties, including oligosaccharides, resistant starch, polyphenols, and isoflavones. These compounds provide a broad range of important physiological benefits, including anti-inflammatory and immune regulation, as well as anti-cancer properties and metabolic regulation. The properties of legumes make it possible to use them to create synbiotic food, which is a source of probiotics and prebiotics.

During last decades, there is a growing interest for characterizing new microbial strains isolated from various sources (plants, soil and natural fermentative processes), in order to enhance industrial productivity. The aim of the present study was to assess the profile of cell growth parameters and biomass accumulation of 15 newly isolated yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from Romanian spontaneous fermented dairy products under different environmental stress conditions (chemical and physical). On this purpose, the yeast and LAB strains were characterized and identified using MALDI-TOF MS and selected for their biotechnological potential. Cell growth was evaluated in presence of extreme pH values, temperatures and different NaCl concentrations. All strains included in this study grew well under their optimal conditions; some of them preferred extreme parameters: acid / very alkaline pH, high temperatures or NaCl concentration The characterization of microbiota from Romanian spontaneous fermented dairy products might represent a great opportunity for the development of dairy industry using native microorganisms, preserving thus the Romanian biodiversity and cultural heritage.
