The aim of this study was to isolate and phenotypically characterised lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from samples of raw (cow, goat) and traditional fermented milk product (nono).The assessed characteristics of LAB as indexed in Bergeys Manual of Determinative Bacteriology are cellular characteristic (Gram staining), growth at pH 4.5 and 9.6, growth in 5% NaCl, production of ammonia from arginine, tolerance to temperature 15 and 45oC, starch hydrolysis, and fermentation of sugars test. Fifty-five LAB were isolated and identified as Pediococcus acidilactici (15), Lactobacillus plantarum (29), Lactobacillus brevis (4), Lactobacillus casei (4), and Lactobacillus fermentum (3). Four species of the Lactobacillus isolated from nono samples were identified as Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum and  Lactobacillus fermentum while Pediococcus acidilactici was isolated from raw cow and goat milk.  Lactobacillus plantarum was the dorminant organism with the highest frequency occurrence of 52.7% while Lactobacillus fermentum had the lowest (5.5%).  Lactobacillus species are normally found in fermented milk product which could be of great importance in food industry.

Kununzaki- a popular and an affordable West African cereal-based beverage was enriched with cocoa powder and subjected to ‘probiotication’ with ‘probiotic’ lactic acid bacteria and subsequently investigated for sustained viability of the microbes and ability to suppress growth of food-borne bacteria. This study enumerated the different microbes in enriched kununzaki drink before and during storage, identified the isolated microbes and assessed the viability of the ‘probiotic’ lactic acid bacteria (LABs) in the drink and determined the antagonistic effect of the LABs on two selected food-borne pathogens. This was with a view to enhancing the health giving attributes of affordable kununzaki, which is already a popular beverage in Nigeria. Laboratory results revealed total viable bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and mould counts to range from 4.69 – 8.76, 6.45 – 9.74 and 6.04 – 8.77 log cfu ml-1, respectively. The microorganisms isolated were identified as: Bacillus brevis, B. Badius, B. polymyxa, B. macquariensis, B. pantothenticus, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Serratia marcescens, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, L. fermentum, L. plantarum, L. casei, Aspergillus niger, and Curvularia affinis. ‘Probiotic’ lactic acid bacteria were viable (69.75 log cfu ml-1) at the end of four weeks of storage. The viabilities of Lactobacillus fermentum which were 9.75 and 9.58 log cfu ml-1 at ambient and refrigerated temperatures, respectively were higher than those of other lactic acid bacteria species. The same organism was found to be active against one of the tested food-borne pathogens, Escherichia coli as evident in the diameter of zone of inhibition on plate and broth culture analyses. The study concluded that Lactobacillus fermentum could be effectively used for ‘probiotication’ of kununzaki enriched with 20% cocoa powder and the resulting product exhibited potential of checkmating a food-borne bacterial strain and by implication has the potential of promoting the health of consumers. The product was also found to be microbiologically stable for 4 weeks of storage at ambient and refrigeration temperatures.

In this study two raw cow's milk cheeses of a different ripening period were examined. The cheeses were taken from a country household in the region of mountain Stara Planina and manufactured without adding of starter culture. A total 106 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated from both cheeses. They are tested by classical physiological tests as well as by API 50 CH tests. Proteolytic and antimicrobial activities were done too. Identification of LAB isolates was done by repetitive extragenic palindromic-polimerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) with (GTG)5 primer. The LAB isolates from cheese BGPT9 (four days old) belonged to the eight species of LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus brevis, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus durans and Leuconostoc garlicum), while in the BGPT10 cheese (eight months old) only two species were present (Lactobacillus plantarum and Enterococcus faecium). Proteolytic activity showed 30 LAB from BGPT9 cheese, mainly enterococci. From BGPT10 cheese only one isolate (which belonged to the Lactobacillus plantarum species) possessed partial ability to hydrolyze ?-casein. Seven enterococci from BGPT9 cheese and four enterococci from BGPT10 cheese produced antimicrobial compounds.

Bacteriocin genes are biosynthetic genes which encodes proteins involved in bacteriocin regulation, self-immunity, transport and modification. This research was aimed at identifying the gene for the synthesis of bacteriocin. Four strains of lactic acid bacteria previously isolated from fermented foods (Nono (N2), Ogi (O3), Dawadawa (D1 and D3) and Wara (W3) were identified using molecular technique and used to produce bacteriocin. The bacteriocin activity was assayed against some test bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) using agar well diffusion method and the bacteriocin genes were identified using BAGEL3. The LAB identified were Lactobacillus fermentum O3, Leuconostoc mesenteroides N2, Weissella cibaria D1 and 2 strains of Lactobacillus plantarum D3 and W3. The entire identified LAB was able to produce bacteriocin. The antimicrobial activity showed varied inhibitory effects of the bacteriocins on the test bacteria. Bacteriocin from isolate O3 showed the highest inhibition zone 16mm on S. aureus. The identified gene for these bacteriocins were plnJK gene for Lactobacillus plantarum str WCFS1 and strain LZ95 (W3 and D3), entA gene for Lactobacillus fermentum str 3872 (O3) and ppnC7 gene for Leuconostoc mesenteroides str SRA3 (N2) with the interaction of other peptides were responsible for bacteriocin production.

Soybeans and soy-based products contain isoflavones which can be used for nutraceutical and medical applications. In soybeans and in unfermented soy foods, isoflavones are normally present as glycosides. Isoflavone glycosides can be enzymatically converted to isoflavone aglycones, thus releasing the sugar molecule. The effective absorption of isoflavones in humans requires the bioconversion of isoflavone glycosides to isoflavone aglycones through the activity of the enzyme β-glucosidase. The objective was to assess the capacity of 42 bacterial strains (belonging to Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and Enterococcus) to produce β-glucosidase activity. The strain that showed the highest β-glucosidase activity (Lactobacillus plantarum 128/2) was then used for the optimization of the bioconversion of genistin and daidzin present in commercial soymilk to their aglycone forms genistein and daidzein. The contribution of process parameters (temperature, inoculum size, time) to the efficiency of such bioactivation was tested. Lactobacillus plantarum 128/2 was able to completely bioactivate soymilk isoflavones under the following conditions: 25 °C temperature, 2% inoculum size and 48 h process time. These results confirm the suitability of lactic acid bacteria for the bioactivation of isoflavones present in soymilk and provide an interesting candidate (L. plantarum 182/2) for food industries to perform this transformation.

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is essential for maintaining human health. The purpose of this study was to isolate novel lactic acid bacteria that overproduce vitamin B2 and to validate their potential as probiotics. In this study, Lactobacillus plantarum HY7715 (HY7715) was selected among lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi. HY7715 showed a very high riboflavin-producing ability compared to the control strain due to the high expression of ribA, ribB, ribC, ribH, and ribG genes. HY7715 produced 34.5 ± 2.41 mg/L of riboflavin for 24 h without consuming riboflavin in the medium under optimal growth conditions. It was able to produce riboflavin in an in vitro model of the intestinal environment. In addition, when riboflavin deficiency was induced in mice through nutritional restriction, higher levels of riboflavin were detected in plasma and urine in the HY7715 administration group than in the control group. HY7715 showed high survival rate in simulated gastrointestinal conditions and had antibiotic resistance below the cutoff MIC value suggested by the European Food Safety Authority; moreover, it did not cause hemolysis. In conclusion, HY7715 could be considered a beneficial probiotic strain for human and animal applications, suggesting that it could be a new alternative to address riboflavin deficiency.
