Identification and characterization of lactic acid bacteria in ragi tape

One hundred and eighteen lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from five different types of ragi tape, a traditional dry-starter of Balinese rice wine. The isolates could be classified into three groups based on the cell shape and capability to produce gas from glucose. Group I contained 66 homofermentative cocci, group II contained seven homofermentative rods, and group III contained 45 heterofermentative rods. Among these 118 isolates, 21 isolates representing these groups were selected and were first identified using phenotypic characters. The identification performed phenotypically was confirmed by sequencing of variable region 8 (V8) of the 16S rDNA. The comparative studies led to the identification of Pediococcus pentosaceus, Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus curvatus, Weissella confusa, and W. paramesenteroides from the ragi tape examined.     

Identification and characterization of starter lactic acid bacteria and probiotics from Columbian dairy products

AIMS: Considering the significant rise in the probiotic market in Columbia, and given the lack of reports concerning the microbial population and strain performance in products from different producers, this study aims at determining the number of viable starter bacteria and probiotics in bio-yoghurts available at the Columbian market, identifying the species and analysing the performance of the isolated strains in bile acid resistance, antagonistic activity against pathogens, and adherence capacity to human intestinal epithelial cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seven bio-yoghurts were analysed for the bacterial species present. Species identification was carried out using 16S rRNA gene targeted PCR. The cultured bacteria were tested for bile acid resistance, adherence to a human intestinal epithelial cell line, and antagonism against the pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. A total of 17 different strains were identified. Based on plate counting, all bio-yoghurts have at least total viable cells of approximately 10(7) CFU ml(-1). Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus were the most frequently isolated bacteria. Viable Bifidobacterium was only recovered from one product. However, after PCR analysis, DNA of this genus was confirmed in five out of seven products. Major differences were found for S. typhimurium antagonism. The adherence capacity to Caco-2 cells was observed in 10 of the isolated strains. In general, low survival to simulated gastric juice was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Some of the isolated strains have probiotic potential, although not all of them were present in the advised amount to exert beneficial health effects. However, the full correct scientific name of the isolated bacteria and their viable counts were not included on the product label. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first report describing the identification and functionality of starter bacteria and probiotics present in dairy products on the Columbian market.     

Identification of lactic acid bacteria and yeast from boza

Boza is a low-alcohol beverage produced from the fermentation of barley, oats, millet, maize, wheat or rice. The number of lactic acid bacteria isolated from three boza samples ranged from 9 × 10⁶ to 5 × 10⁷ CFU/mL. Carbohydrate fermentation reactions and PCR with species-specific primers classified the isolates as Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei, Lactobacillus pentosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus fermentum. No filamentous fungi were isolated. Yeasts were isolated from two of the three boza samples, with cell numbers ranging from 1.3 × 10² to 1.8 × 10³ CFU/mL. Results obtained from sequencing of the D1/D2 rDNA region identified the yeasts as Candida diversa, Candida inconspicua, Candida pararugosa, Issatchenkia orientalis, Pichia fermentans, Pichia guillliermondii, Pichia norvegensis, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Torulaspora delbrueckii. C. inconspicua has been isolated from human sputum and tongue and is an opportunistic pathogen. R. mucilaginosa is also an opportunistic pathogen implicated in fungaemia, endocarditis and meningitis. P. norvegensis has been associated with septicaemia in humans. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly associated with fermented beverages, has not been detected in any of the boza samples, despite enrichment.     

Identification and characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional pickles in Sichuan, China

The pickle, a traditional fermented vegetable product, is popular in Sichuan Province of China. The objective of this study was to investigate the diversity of dominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in pickles by analyzing 36 samples collected from 6 different regions in Sichuan Province. The LAB counts in these samples varied from 3.90 to 8.40 log cfu ml^-1. In total, 185 presumptive LAB with Gram-positive and catalase-negative properties were obtained from these samples using MRS agar, and those strains were identified at the species level by physiological tests, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multiplex PCR assay. The results revealed that all isolates were accurately identified as Enterococcus thailandicus (2 strains), Lactobacillus alimentarius (16 strains), L. brevis (24 strains), L. paracasei (9 strains), L. plantarum (81 strains), L. pentosus (38 strains), L. sakei (8 strains), L. spicheri (1 strain), Leuconostoc lactis (1 strain) and Pediococcus ethanolidurans (5 strains). The predominant LAB in Sichuan pickle was L. plantarum, which were isolated from most samples. The results also demonstrated that different regions in Sichuan Province have complex compositions of LAB species, and such a rich resource of LAB strains provides raw data for further studies involving probiotic strain selection.

A modified decarboxylase assay medium (DCA medium) was used for studying the production of biogenic amines by Leuconostoc oenos DSM 20252 and two strains of Lactobacillus buchneri (Lb14 and St2A). The DCA medium contained histidine, lysine, ornithine and tyrosine as precursors of the respective biogenic amines. Under the experimental conditions both strains of Lact. buchneri produced > 90% of the maximum amount of histamine within 24 h. Only tyramine was produced by Leuc. oenos DSM 20252. accountine for 88% of the maximum theoretical amount within 24 h.     

Polyphasic characterization of the lactic acid bacteria in kefir

The lactic acid bacteria of kefir were isolated and characterized using phenotypical, biochemical, and genotypical methods. Polyphasic analyses of results permitted the identification of the microflora to the strain level. The genus Lactobacillus was represented by the species Lb. kefir and Lb. kefiranofaciens. Both subspecies of Lactococcus lactis (lactis and cremoris) were isolated. Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris was also found. The kefir studied contained few species of lactic acid bacteria but showed a high number of different strains. We found that the polyphasic analysis approach increases the confidence in strain determination. It helped confirm strain groupings and it showed that it could have an impact on the phylogeny of the strains.
