Eighty-one strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from white semi-hard homemade cheese, designated Zlatar BGNV, which was taken from household settled on Northern side of mountain Zlatar. The Zlatar BGNV cheese was manufactured from raw cow's milk without addition of the starter culture. All isolates of LAB were characterized by phenotypic and genotypic tests. Identification of strains was done by the repetitive extragenic palindromic-polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) with (GTG)5 primer and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The most present species in Zlatar BGNV cheese were Lactobacillus casei/paracasei (65.43%) and Enterococcus faecalis (29.63%). Two facultative heterofermentative rods were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (2.47%), and two obligate hetrofermentative LAB isolates as Lactobacillus parabuchneri (2.47%). Among all 81 tested isolates, only eight enterococci were producers of antimicrobial compounds. Fourteen of 16 tested lactobacilli isolates showed medium to very good proteolytic activity. All 57 lactobacilli from the Zlatar BGNV cheese curdled milk very slowly or did not curdle milk at all. However, three isolates of enterococci, BGNV1-63, BGNV1-76 and BGNV1-80, showed very good activity in milk and curdled milk within 5 h. They showed very high proteolytic activity hydrolyzing completely ?s1- and ?-casein after 3 h, and ?-casein after 30 min of incubation. In addition, those three enterococcal isolates degraded gelatin. Comparing obtained results with those previously achieved in examination of LAB microflora in another Zlatar BGZLS cheese made also from raw cow's milk, it can be concluded that LAB microflora in the Zlatar BGNV cheese is less diverse.

“Nostrano-cheeses” are traditional alpine cheeses made from raw cow’s milk in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. This study identified lactic acid bacteria (LAB) developing during maturation of “Nostrano-cheeses” and evaluated their potential to produceγ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an immunologically active compound and neurotransmitter. Cheese samples were collected on six cheese-making days, in three dairy factories located in different areas of Trentino and at different stages of cheese ripening (24 h, 15 days, and 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8 months). A total of 1,059 LAB isolates were screened using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-PCR) and differentiated into 583 clusters. LAB strains from dominant clusters (n=97) were genetically identified to species level by partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. LAB species most frequently isolated wereLactobacillus paracasei,Streptococcus thermophilus, andLeuconostoc mesenteroides. The 97 dominant clusters were also characterized for their ability in producing GABA by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). About 71% of the dominant bacteria clusters evolving during cheeses ripening were able to produce GABA. Most GABA producers wereLactobacillus paracaseibut other GABA producing species includedLactococcus lactis,Lactobacillus plantarum,Lactobacillus rhamnosus,Pediococcus pentosaceus, andStreptococcus thermophilus. NoEnterococcus faecalisorSc. macedonicusisolates produced GABA. The isolate producing the highest amount of GABA (80.0±2.7 mg/kg) was aSc. thermophilus.

Background: Paipa cheese is a traditional, semi-ripened cheese made from raw cow’s milk in Colombia. The aim of this work was to gain insights on the microbiota of Paipa cheese by using a culture-independent approach. Method: two batches of Paipa cheese from three formal producers were sampled during ripening for 28 days. Total DNA from the cheese samples was used to obtain 16S rRNA gene sequences by using Illumina technology. Results: Firmicutes was the main phylum found in the cheeses (relative abundances: 59.2–82.0%), followed by Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Lactococcus was the main genus, but other lactic acid bacteria (Enterococcus, Leuconostoc and Streptococcus) were also detected. Stapylococcus was also relevant in some cheese samples. The most important Proteobacteria were Enterobacteriaceae, Aeromonadaceae and Moraxellaceae. Enterobacter and Enterobacteriaceae (others) were detected in all cheese samples. Serratia and Citrobacter were detected in some samples. Aeromonas and Acinetobacter were also relevant. Other minor genera detected were Marinomonas, Corynebacterium 1 and Chryseobacterium. The principal coordinates analysis suggested that there were producer-dependent differences in the microbiota of Paipa cheeses. Conclusions: lactic acid bacteria are the main bacterial group in Paipa cheeses. However, other bacterial groups, including spoilage bacteria, potentially toxin producers, and bacteria potentially pathogenic to humans and/or prone to carry antimicrobial resistance genes are also relevant in the cheeses.

A total of 157 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from three hand-made cheeses taken from different households in the region of the Caucasus Mountains. The cheeses were manufactured from cow's milk without the addition of a starter culture. The isolates of LAB were characterized by subjecting them to phenotypic and genotypic tests. The results of identification of LAB indicate that the examined cheeses contained 10 species, viz., Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lactobacillus arizonensis, Lactobacillus farciminis, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus faecalis. The strains within the species L. plantarum, L. arizonensis, L. paraplantarum, L. farciminis, and L. pseudomesenteroides showed good proteolytic activity.

The high nutritional value of whey makes it an interesting substrate for the development of fermented foods. The aim of this work was to evaluate the growth and proteolytic activity of sixty-four strains of lactic acid bacteria in whey to further formulate a starter culture for the development of fermented whey-based beverages. Fermentations were performed at 37°C for 24 h in 10 and 16% (w/v) reconstituted whey powder. Cultivable populations, pH, and proteolytic activity (o-phthaldialdehyde test) were determined at 6 and 24 h incubation. Hydrolysis of whey proteins was analysed by Tricine SDS-PAGE. A principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to evaluate the behaviour of strains. Forty-six percent of the strains grew between 1 and 2 Δlog CFU/ml while 19% grew less than 0·9 Δlog CFU/ml in both reconstituted whey solutions. Regarding the proteolytic activity, most of the lactobacilli released amino acids and small peptides during the first 6 h incubation while streptococci consumed the amino acids initially present in whey to sustain growth. Whey proteins were degraded by the studied strains although to different extents. Special attention was paid to the main allergenic whey protein, β-lactoglobulin, which was degraded the most byLactobacillus acidophilusCRL 636 andLb. delbrueckiisubsp.bulgaricusCRL 656. The strain variability observed and the PCA applied in this study allowed selecting appropriate strains able to improve the nutritional characteristics (through amino group release and protein degradation) and storage (decrease in pH) of whey.

Some test results hedonic by ordinary people who consume the dadih in West Sumatra in 2009 on dadih made from cow's milk using Lactobacillus casei culture couldn’t be accepted because it was still too acidic than dadih from buffalo milk. One solution to reduce the sour taste is to combine the bacterial culture L. casei with other lactic acid bacteria that produce flavor relatively low acidity. The study aimed to determine the characteristics of probiotic dadih using a combination starter L. casei, L. plantarum and B. longum during storage at room temperature (ambient) and cold temperature. The study was designed using randomized block design with 6x3 factorial patterns of three groups as replication. Treatment A (combination of probiotic bacteria) that L. casei (A1), B. longum (A2), L. plantarum (A3), L. casei: L. plantarum 1:5 (A4), L. casei: B. longum 1:5 (A5) and L. casei: L. plantarum: B. longum 1:4:1 (A6), and factor B (storage conditions), namely: (B1) room temperature (27oC), and (B2) cold temperature (4-10oC). The results showed that viability and the total lactic acid bacteria in all formulas of cow's milk dadih during storage at room temperature and cold temperature of more than 106 cfu/ml which could be categorized as a probiotic products. The combination of C1L5 (L.casei: B.longum 1: 5) has the lowest acidity value and excellence in character color, flavor, and was generally preferred by the panelists. In terms of flavor and texture characteristics of cow's milk dadih with a combination of C1L5 had a level of hedonic as with other formulas.       Keywords: dadih, cows milk, probiotic, storage

Abstract This work aimed to isolate and identify Streptococcus and Lactobacillus species from raw cow’s milk obtained from Southwest Paraná - Brazil. We used randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR to identify and type 58Streptococcus and 48 Lactobacillus isolates, of which 04 Streptococcus thermophilus and 02 Streptpcoccus macedonicus were confirmed by species-specific PCR and by sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA of 02Streptococcus lutetiensis/infantarius, 10 Lactobacillus fermentum, 03 Lactobacillus delbrueickii subspecies bulgaricus, 01 Lactobacillus rhamnosus/casei and 02 Lactobacillus helveticus. The results indicated predominance of Streptococcus thermophillus and Lactobacillus fermentum. Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueickii subspecies bulgaricus strains were tested on the basis of their acidification kinetics. Considerable variation between the Streptococcus thermophilus was observed for the maximum rate of acidification (Vm), with a maximum of -4.5 and minimum of -4.2 pH milliunits min-1. The Lactobacillus delbrueickii subspecies bulgaricus showed values between -8.4 and -7.1 pH milliunits min-1. These results suggest that strains characterized as having a high acidifying capacity, could be used as starters in cheesemaking. The ferments presented an excellent performance in the acidification process, generating adequate curves, characteristics of a starter culture.
