The objective of this study was isolate, identify and investigate some biochemical properties of strains of lactic acid bacteria from “com me” and “mam sac chua” in Tien Giang province. Nineteen strains of LAB were isolated from four “com me” and three “mam sac chua” samples. They have characterized of lactic acid bacteria such as: halo rings in MRS agar environment added 0,85% CaCO3, rod-shaped cells, Gram positive, catalate and oxidase negative. All 19 strains of LAB were able to produce lactic acid in MRS broth (1,01 – 2,23 mg/ mL after 24 hours). Three strains of LAB were isolated from “com me” were able to produce lactic acid in MRS broth at salt concentration of 0, 2, 4 and 6% (0,57 – 1,29 mg/ mL after 24 hours). In particular, strains of LAB were coded ML3 and ML4 produced the highest lactic acid and VB strain was the most salinity tolerance. Therefore, these three srains were choosed to identify species by molecular biology technique. The results of identification were Staphylococcus piscifermentans VB, Lactobacillus plantarum ML3 and Lactobacillus plantarum ML4 because they are 99% homologous to S. piscifermentans and L. plantarum.

This study aims to determine the characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) obtained from the silage made from Hymenachne acutigluma and Neptunia oleracea Lour to be used as probiotics. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD), which consists of 3 treatments and 5 replications. The treatment consisted of P1 (silage made from Hymenachne acutigluma), P2 (silage made from 50% of Hymenachne acutigluma and 50% of Neptunia oleracea lour), and P3 (silage made from Neptunia oleracea lour). The variables measured were LAB characteristics including shape, gram staining, catalase, endospore, motility, growth at different temperatures, TSIA, MR, VP, and identification using API Kit. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that there were 9 selected isolates. All isolates are rod-shaped, gram-positive, catalase, endospore, and negative motility, growth at 15 °C negative and at 45 °C positive. TSIA slant and butt test show yellow and negative colors on gas and H2S production, while MR-VP is red and yellow. The conclusions of this study were all isolates belonging to the Lactobacillus plantarum strain with a similarity level of 87.3-99.9 %.

The quality parameters of sauerkraut fermented using Lactobacillus paracasei in terms of its lactic acid bacteria count, texture, colour and biochemical properties were studied. As a starter culture L. paracasei grown in tofu whey was used for sauerkraut fermentation. The experiments were planned using central composite rotatable design of response surface methodology for input variables – culture volume (ml), fermentation time (days) and salt concentration (g/100 g). The linear and interactive effect of variables on responses was understood by statistically significant (p < 0.01) second-order models. Amongst all the input variables culture volume was found to have an overwhelming effect over all the responses. There was a significant (p < 0.01) increase in the lactic acid bacteria count of finished product; it was less hard but there was a departure in colour from the traditional product. The optimized condition for sauerkraut fermentation in terms of culture volume (ml), fermentation time (day) and salt concentration (g/100 g) was 30 ml, 28 days and 1 g/100 g, respectively. It was also observed that phenolics content was better in starter culture sauerkraut over the one traditionally prepared.

Amylolytic lactic acid bacteria are a group of bacteria that are capable to use starch as the carbon source. The objectives of this research were to characterize, and identify the lactic acid bacteria from sago starch processing industry, which might be used to modify the sago starch. There were 39 isolates isolated from sago processing industry, and 36 of them were presumed as lactic acid bacteria. From 36 isolates suspected as lactic acid bacteria, 9 of them had amylolytic properties. Morphological identification results show that the 9 isolates were l Gram-positive bacteria, negative catalase, rod shape, and 5 isolates produced gas, while 4 isolates did not produce gas. The ability to produce amylase varied among isolates and isolate RN2.12112 had the higher amylolytic ability than others. Results show that the nine isolates identified as lactic acid bacteria were dominated by Lactobacillus plantarum 1. ABSTRAKBakteri asam laktat (BAL) yang bersifat amilolitik adalah bakteri asam laktat yang mampu memanfaatkan pati sebagai substratnya.

Relevance. A significant increase in microbiome-associated diseases, closely related to violations of the bacterial diversity and functions of the normal intestinal microbiota, dictates the need to develop and implement measures for the long-term preservation of individual representatives of the normal microbiota in order to create new strategies for modifying the composition of microbiomes.Methods. The influence of the technology of deep freezing and storage of intestinal isolates of lactic acid bacteria of 2 taxonomic groups isolated from poultry in the conditions of the Low-temperature automated storage of biological samples of the Departmental Collection of useful microorganisms for Agricultural purposes of the Russian Agricultural Academy (VKSM) on the MRS culture medium using 10 and 20% glycerin or 10 and 20% sucrose as cryopreservants was studied. The suspensions of the isolates were frozen at - 150 °C for 18 hours and then placed in an automated cryopreservation at -80 °C. Control of samples for safetyResults. The technology of cryofreezing of lactic acid bacteria on MRS-broth using 10 and 20% glycerin or 10 and 20% sucrose as cryopreservants allows preserving the viability, physiological and  biochemical properties of intestinal isolates of lactic acid bacteria when stored for 18 months. All the protective media used (MRS-broth with glycerin 10 and 20%, MRS -broth with sucrose 10 and 20%) showed comparable results in the preservation of viability and acid-forming activity of Lactobacillus fermentum-2, Pediococcus pentosaceus 6p-3, Pediococcus pentosaceus 28p-1 isolates. Then the storage of Pediococcus pentosaceus isolate (28p-1) in a given parameter on a protective medium with 10 and 20% sucrose led to a decrease in the activity of acid formation.

Cultivation of lactic acid bacteria cultures is vital for research and commercial production of fermented foods. However, the conventional growth media used are generally costly. Malt extracts from four sorghum varieties (SESO 1, SESO 3, Epuripur, and Eyera) were evaluated as alternative low-cost growth media for Lactobacillus plantarum MNC 21. Saccharified sorghum malt extracts were inoculated with 4 log cfu/mL MNC 21 and incubated at 30°C for 24 h. MRS broth was the reference medium. Microbial counts, pH, titratable acidity (TA), free amino nitrogen (FAN), and total sugars were measured. Maximum microbial counts in the extracts and MRS broth were 9 and 10 log cfu/mL, respectively. Maximum growth rate in the extracts was 0.7–0.9 log cfu/mL/h and 0.8 log cfu/mL/h in MRS broth. The final pH of the extracts was 3.5–3.6, with an overall increase in TA of 1.2% in Epuripur and 0.2% in other varieties. Final pH and TA of MRS broth were 4.1 and 1.3%, respectively. Total sugars dropped by 95.2% and FAN by 2.1% in MRS broth. In contrast, total sugars and FAN dropped by 5.6–9.1% and 24.9–32.7% respectively, in the extracts. Sorghum malt extracts can be adopted as alternative low-cost growth media for lactic acid bacteria cultures.

Traditional artisan Zlatar cheese belongs to the group of white, semi hard home-made cheeses, which are produced from no pasteurized cow's milk, without addition of any known bacterial starter culture. In total, 253 Gram-positive and catalase negative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated. Results showed that 70 out of 253 analyzed isolates produced antimicrobial compounds known as bacteriocins. Most isolates from genera Lactococcus and Enterococcus, and isolates belonging to species Lactobacillus plantarum and Lb. brevis, do not synthesize extracellular proteinase. In contrast, isolates from subspecies Lb. paracasei subsp. paracasei showed very good proteolytic activity. It was observed that good proteolytic activity of isolates was not in correlation with their good antimicrobial activity in the most of isolates.

This research was aimed to study the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides starter cultures application in lower salt concentration fermentation on sauerkraut quality. Fresh cut cabbage was fermented with different starter cultures (L. plantarum, L. mesenteroides or the combination) at different lower salt concentration (0.5% or 1%) at 28oC for 5 days. The obtained sauerkrauts were subjected to evaluation of the quality i.e. total lactic acid bacteria, pH, total acidity, total phenolic content and DPPH scavenging activity analysis. The sulforaphane content analysis was performed by using LC-MS. The starter cultures increased total lactic acid bacteria, total acidity and decreased pH. L. mesenteroides resulted in the highest total phenolic content and the lowest IC50 value. Sauerkraut with the addition of L. mesenteroides contains sulforaphane higher 848.65 ng/g than that of control 776.47 ng/g. The results analysis of LC-MS also detected another compound, namely 2-phenethyl isothiocyanate, an antimicrobial compound. The sauerkraut is potential in functional food development with antiproliferative, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer activities.

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.
