The Lactic Acid Bacteria with Milk Clotting Activity (MCA) were isolated from Bakasam, an Indonesian traditional fermented meat. The isolate screening was carried out using modified method of Skim Milk Agar and Milk Clotting Activity Test, and the isolate was then identified using 16S rRNA. We found 4 isolates that showed MCA of 18-20 SU/ml. Identification using 16S rRNA indicated that the isolate ALG.1.15 was 99% (FR3-F primer) and 99% (FR3-R primer) identic with Enterococcus faecium. The isolate potentially produced renin-like protease to subtitute renin from veal.

ABSTRACT            Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a group of bacteria that produce lactic acid as the major metabolic end product of carbohydrate fermentation. LAB are highly beneficial because of their probiotic potential properties and as functional starter cultures in food fermentation. This study was aimed to identify the LAB species isolated from romaine lettuce fermented product by using molecular identification method with 16S rRNA gene marker. The fermented product was diluted and spread onto MRS agar supplemented with 1% of CaCO3 and then purified by using streak method. Both isolates were positive Gram bacteria and gave negative results from catalase test. The result of molecular identification showed that LAB from romaine lettuce fermented product have each 99 and 100% similarity to Enterococcus faecium that known have properties as probiotic potential and functional culture starter.Key words: lactic acid bacteria, fermentation, probiotic, Enterococcus faecium, Lactuca sativa var. Longifolia Lam.             ABSTRAK             Bakteri asam laktat (BAL) merupakan bakteri yang menghasilkan asam laktat sebagai metabolit utamanya dalam fermentasi karbohidrat. BAL merupakan bakteri yang menguntungkan karena memiliki aktivitas probiotik potensial dan dapat berguna sebagai starter dalam proses fermentasi makanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi spesies BAL yang diisolasi dari hasil fermentasi selada romain menggunakan metode identifikasi molekuler dengan gen penanda 16S rRNA. Cairan hasil fermentasi diencerkan dan ditebar pada media MRS agar yang telah dicampur dengan CaCO3 1% dan kemudian dimurnikan menggunakan metode streak plate. Kedua isolat merupakan bakteri Gram positif dan menunjukkan hasil negatif pada uji katalase.

Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from 10 samples of the traditionally fermented foods (5 samples of Vietnamese fermented pork roll and 5 samples of the salted field cabbage) and 5 samples of fresh cow milks collected from households in Vietnam. 22 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated for inhibition to Lactobacillus plantarum JCM 1149. Of these, only 2 strains including DC1.8 and NC1.2 have rod shape, the others have coccus shape. 7 strains showing higher antibacterial activity were selected for checking spectrum of antibacteria with indicator bacteria consistting of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Enterococcus faecium JCM 5804 and Staphylococcus aureus TLU. By which, 3 strains including NC3.5 (from Vietnamese fermented pork roll), DC1.8 (from salted field cabbage) and MC3.19 (from fresh cow milk) were selected because of their higher antibacterial ability. However, the antibacterial activity of the lactic acid bacteria can be based on their disposable compounds and some other antibacterial compounds produced during their growth (such as lactic acid, H2O2, bacteriocins, etc.). For seeking lactic acid bacteria with capability of producing bacteriocins, antibacterial compounds with protein nature, 3 above strains were checked sensitiveness to proteases (including protease K, papain, α – chymotrypsin and trypsin). Because bacteriocins are proteinaceous antibacterial compounds, so their antibacterial activity will be reduced if proteases are added. The result showed DC1.8 and MC3.19 were capable of producing bacteriocin during culture process. They were identified as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactococcus lactis and classified, respectively, based on analysis chemical characterisitcs by standard API 50 CHL kit and phylogeny relationship by 16s rRNA sequences. Các chủng vi khuẩn lactic được phân lập từ 10 mẫu thực phẩm lên men truyền thống (5 mẫu nem chua, 5 mẫu dưa cải bẹ muối) và 5 mẫu sữa bò tươi được thu thập từ các hộ gia đình ở Việt Nam. 22 chủng vi khuẩn lactic đã được phân lập với tiêu chí có khả năng kháng lại vi khuẩn kiểm định Lactobacillus plantarum JCM 1149. Trong số đó, 2 chủng DC1.8 và NC1.2 có tế bào hình que, các chủng còn lại có tế bào hình cầu. 7 chủng thể hiện hoạt tính kháng khuẩn cao được lựa chọn để xác định phổ kháng khuẩn rộng hơn với ba loài vi khuẩn kiểm định Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Enterococcus faecium JCM 5804 và Staphylococcus aureus TLU. Từ đó lựa chọn được 3 chủng có hoạt tính kháng khuẩn cao hơn hẳn. Các chủng này gồm NC3.5 phân lập từ nem chua, DC1.8 phân lập từ dưa cải bẹ muối và MC3.19 phân lập từ sữa bò tươi. Tuy nhiên, hoạt tính kháng khuẩn của vi khuẩn lactic bao gồm những hợp chất nội tại có trong nó và cả những hợp chất được sinh ra trong quá trình phát triển của nó (như axit lactic, H2O2, bacteriocin, …). Với định hướng tìm chủng vi khuẩn lactic có khả năng sinh bacteriocin, chất kháng khuẩn có bản chất protein, 3 chủng trên được kiểm tra độ nhạy cảm với các protease (gồm protease K, papain, α – chymotrypsin và trypsin). Do bacteriocin là chất kháng khuẩn có bản chất protein nên hoạt tính kháng khuẩn của chúng sẽ bị giảm nếu protease được bổ xung vào. Kết quả lựa chọn được chủng DC1.8 và MC3.19 có khả năng sinh bacteriocin. Hai chủng này được phân loại đến loài nhờ vào phân tích đặc điểm sinh hóa bằng kit API 50 CHL và mối quan hệ di truyền thông qua trình tự gen 16s rRNA. Kết quả phân loại đã xác định chủng DC1.8 thuộc loài Lactobacillus acidophilus và chủng MC3.19 thuộc loài Lactococcus lactis.

The capacity of three phosphates to interrupt the lytic cycle of four specific autochthonal bacteriophages of lactic acid bacteria used as starters was assayed. The phosphates used (polyphosphates A and B and sodium tripolyphosphate–high solubility [TAS]) were selected on the basis of their capacity to sequester divalent cations, which are involved in the lytic cycle of certain bacteriophages. The assays were performed in culture media (deMan Rogosa Sharpe and Elliker broths) and reconstituted (10%, wt/vol) commercial skim milk to which phosphates had been added at concentrations of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% (wt/vol). Phosphate TAS was the most inhibitory one, since it was able to inhibit the lytic cycle of all bacteriophages studied, in both broths and milk. In broth, polyphosphates A and B inhibited the lytic cycle of only two bacteriophages at the maximal concentration used (0.5%), whereas in milk, they were not capable of maintaining the same inhibitory effect.

The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to grow and compete with mesophilic lactic acid bacteria was examined. Autoclaved skim milk was inoculated with 103 cells of L. monocytogenes (strain V7 or Ohio)/ml, and with 5.0, 1.0, 0.5 or 0.1% of a milk culture of either Streptococcus cremoris or Streptococcus lactis. Inoculated milks were fermented for 15 h at 21 or 30°C, followed by refrigeration at 4°C. Samples were plated on McBride Listeria Agar to enumerate L. monocytogenes and on either APT Agar or plate count agar to enumerate lactic acid bacteria. L. monocytogenes survived in all fermentations, and commonly also grew to some extent. Incubation at 30°C with 5% S. lactis as inoculum appeared to be the most inhibitory combination for strain V7, causing 100% inhibition in growth based on maximum population attained. S. cremoris at the 5.0% and 0.1% inoculum levels, was slightly less inhibitory to L. monocytogenes at 37°C, but it was slightly more inhibitory to L. monocytogenes at the 1.0% inoculum level than was S. lactis. In general, S. lactis reduced the pH of fermented milks more than did S. cremoris. The population of L. monocytogenes began to decrease before 15 h in only one test combination, which was use of a 5.0% inoculum of S. cremoris and 30°C incubation. In most instances, growth of the pathogen appeared to be completely inhibited when the pH dropped below 4.75.
