ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of Petrifilm Lactic Acid Bacteria Count Plates (PLAB) as an alternative methodology to enumerate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in bacon. Bacon samples (n = 40) were obtained from retail sale, 10-fold diluted with buffered peptone water (BPW, 0.2% [w/v]) and Letheen broth, and subjected to LAB enumeration according to four protocols: (i) de Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) agar, pH 5.7, 30°C; (ii) MRS, pH 5.7, 30°C, anaerobiosis; (iii) all-purpose Tween agar (APT), 25°C; and (iv) PLAB, 30°C. Colonies were enumerated at 24, 48, and 72 h, and the results expressed as log CFU per gram for comparison by analysis of variance and regression (P < 0.05). Furthermore, colonies were randomly selected and characterized as LAB (Gram staining and catalase). Mean LAB counts from MRS and PLAB did not present significant differences independently of incubation time or diluent (P > 0.05), whereas counts in APT with BPW after 24 h were significantly lower (P < 0.05). PLAB counts with BPW (24, 48, and 72 h) presented significant correlation with MRS (r ranging from 0.87 to 0.89; in anaerobiosis, r ranging from 0.94 to 0.95) and APT (r ranging from 0.84 to 0.86). With Letheen broth, PLAB (24, 48, and 72 h) presented significant correlation with MRS (r ranging from 0.92 to 0.94; in anaerobiosis, r ranging from 0.93 to 0.96) and APT (r ranging from 0.77 to 0.79). In total, 1,032 colonies (97%) from 1,063 colonies were characterized as LAB. Thus, PLAB can be considered as an alternative tool for enumerating LAB in bacon, with reliable results even after 24 h of incubation. HIGHLIGHTS

Lactic acid bacteria are beneficial bacteria for the health of the body by improving the balance of the intestinal microflora. Lactic acid bacteria can generally be isolated from fermented foods, fruits, vegetables and meat. Inasua is a traditional fermented fish product originating from Central Maluku (Teon, Nila and Serua islands) wherein the fermentation process is carried out at room temperature for a certain time. The purpose of this study was isolation and identification based on the morphological characteristics of lactic acid bacteria in inasua. Isolation of Lactic Acid Bacteria was carried out using the pour plate method and the streak method on the media de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe Agar (MRSA) and Nutrient Agar media. The culture was incubated at 370C for 48 hours. The growing colonies were observed for morphological characteristics and GRAM staining of bacteria was carried out. The results of isolation of BAL from inasua in the media de Man, Ragosa and Sharpe Agar (MRSA) + CaCO3 obtained 4 bacterial isolates, namely INS-A1, INS-A2, INS-A3 and INS-A4 and only 2 isolates that have the characteristics of positive GRAM with Bacillus forms, namely INS-A2 and INS-A4. It is suspected that the 2 isolates were isolates of Lactic Acid Bacteria. The results of isolation on Nutrient Agar (NA) media contained 5 isolates namely INS-B1, INS-B2, INS B3, INS-B4, INS-B5 which have characteristics as negative GRAM shaped Bacillus

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of the bacteriocin produced by strain 9 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolate on the biopreservation of beef. Materials and Methods: The strain 9 LAB isolate was identified conventionally by culturing with de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe broth medium followed by Gram staining and catalase testing. The molecular confirmation of the isolate involved analyzing the 16S rRNA gene with specific primers, that is, B27F (5-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3) and U1492R (5-GGTTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3). Then, the isolate was centrifuged to evaluate the bacteriocin production, and the effect of the biopreservative activity in beef was evaluated by measuring the NH3 produced with the Eber test and the organoleptic acceptance from expert panels. Results: This study confirmed that the strain 9 LAB isolate was a strain of Pediococcus pentosaceus, and the bacteriocin product showed biopreservative potential. The biopreservative potential was characterized by a significant decline in the production of NH3 and the panel's acceptance of the texture and tenderness of the beef, compared with the control, after 10 days of constant treatment. Conclusion: This study highlighted the high biopreservative potency of pediocin produced by P. pentosaceus strain 9. This was noted by the production of NH3 and the modifications in texture and tenderness.

The camel is emerging as a new and important animal in the Australian livestock industry. However, little is known regarding the microbial ecosystem of the gastrointestinal tract of this ruminant-like animal. This study was carried out to determine the diversity of lactic acid-producing and lactic acid-utilising bacteria in the foregut of the feral camel (Camelus dromedarius) in Australia. Putative lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the foregut contents of camels by culturing on De Man, Rogosa, Sharpe and lactic acid media. Identification of representative isolates was based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. Fermentation end products of glucose (i.e. volatile fatty acids and lactate) were also measured in vitro. The key predominant bacteria identified in this study were closely related to Streptococcus bovis, Selenomonas ruminantium, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Lachnospira pectinoschiza and Prevotella ruminicola. The main L-lactate producers were those isolates closely related to S. bovis, S. ruminantium and Lactococcus garvieae, while the efficient lactate utilisers were S. ruminantium-related isolates. D-lactate was produced by isolates closely related to either L. pectinoschiza or S. ruminantium. The predominant bacteria isolated and characterised in this study are identical and/or closely related to those typically found in true ruminants (e.g. S. ruminantium, B. fibrisolvens, S. bovis). In addition, some of the bacteria isolated represent novel species of Lachnospira and Clostridium in the context of lactic acid bacteria from a large herbivorous host. The results from this study have contributed to our understanding and provide opportunities to reduce foregut acidosis in the camel.

This research aimed to evaluate the quantification of Lactobacillussp in three brands of fermented milks collected in the supermarkets of Fortaleza-CE. At the time of purchase of the products, it was observed that none of the lots were at an ideal coolingtemperature (up to 5 °C)according to Brazilian legislation (2002). All the evaluated products declared to have bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus, so the viability/ quantification of the probiotic cultures was monitored as a function of the total count of lactic acid bacteria in MRS agar at 37 °C under anaerobic conditions for 72h (IDF, 1995). The samples were previously diluted in peptone water (0.1%) and plated using the Spread Plate technique (ICMSF, 1978), and theresults were expressed in Colony Forming Units per mL of product (UFC/mL). It is observed that of the three brands evaluated, only one showed a significant amount of cells for the product to be considered probiotic.
