AbstractKefir drink is a source of probiotic microorganism with remarkable functional and technological properties. The objective of this work is to isolate yeast strains from Malaysian kefir drink and evaluate them for probiotic potentials. In the present study, nine strains of probiotic yeast were isolated from a Malaysian kefir drink and identified according to their 16S rDNA sequences. Furthermore, their probiotic potential was evaluated. The probiotic properties were tested for aspects of antibiotic susceptibility, antimicrobial activity, and gastrointestinal condition tolerance (pH and temperature). Five isolated strains, M3, Y5, Y9, Y11 and A1, showed good tolerance towards low pH condition while three strains, A1, M1, and M3, showed antimicrobial activity against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and Salmonella sp. Most isolates were resistant to penicillin, streptomycin, and ampicillin, and grew well at human body temperature. The result of this test indicates that the yeast strains isolated from Malaysian kefir drink have excellent potential for use as probiotics in various products. Lastly, kefir milk is one of the excellent source of probiotic yeast strains and could be used as a new yeast probiotic formulation or in food supplements.

<abstract> <p>The probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Thai traditional fermented food was investigated. Forty-two samples were collected from four markets in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. Out of 50 isolated LAB, 6 (a3, f4, f8, K1, K4 and K9) obtained from pla-ra and bamboo shoot pickle samples showed high tolerance to gastrointestinal tract conditions. These isolates were selected to identify and characterize their probiotic properties. Isolate a3 was identified as <italic>Weissella thailandensis</italic>, isolates f4 and f8 were identified as belonging to <italic>Enterococcus thailandicus</italic> and isolates K1, K4 and K9 were determined as <italic>Limosilactobacillus fermentum</italic>. All six LAB exhibited high autoaggregation ability (93.40–95.01%), while <italic>W. thailandensis</italic> isolate a3 showed potential for coaggregation in almost all the pathogenic bacteria tested. Cell-free supernatant (CFS) obtained from all isolates did not inhibit <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic>. CFS derived from <italic>L. fermentum</italic> isolate K4 showed the most efficient antimicrobial activity, in particular against Gram-negative bacteria, while <italic>L. fermentum</italic> isolate K4 presented high surface hydrophobicity in the presence of xylene and n-hexane. All LAB isolates were found to be resistant to clindamycin and nalidixic acid, whereas <italic>E. thailandicus</italic> isolate f8 exhibited resistance to most of the antibiotics tested. <italic>L. fermentum</italic> isolate K4 showed promise as a suitable probiotic candidate for future applications in the food industry due to tolerance to gastrointestinal tract conditions with high surface hydrophobicity and inhibited most of the pathogens tested.</p> </abstract>

Objective: The rationale of our study was to isolate and identify the putative probiotic strain from infant fecal matter exhibiting a broad range of antimicrobial activity and to analyze the effect of different culturing conditions on its probiotic properties and the production of antimicrobial metabolites. Methods: In the present study, bacterial strains were screened for probiotic properties and antimicrobial activity from infant fecal matter (6 months–2 years). The effect of varying culture conditions such as tolerance to acid, bile salt, phenol, NaCl, pH, incubation period, and temperature along with autoaggregation assay, hydrophobicity, and hemolysis was studied. The characterization of the potent strain was studied by morphological, biochemical, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing along the phylogenetic affiliation of the strain was studied. Results: Two putative probiotic bacteria (DAM and IFM) were isolated, identified, characterized, and predicted at pH 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0, the isolate IFM had 50%, 60%, and 70% survivability, while isolate DAM had 55%, 63%, and 75% survivability, respectively. At a bile salt concentration of 0.5%, both isolates had a 75% survival rate. The isolates exhibited a high percentage of hydrophobicity and autoaggregation. The isolates also had non-hemolytic activity and were susceptible to many clinical tested antibiotics (tetracycline, erythromycin, ampicillin, gentamycin, penicillin, etc.). The isolate showed antimicrobial activity against enteric pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Shigella dysenteriae. The accession number of Bacillus subtilis MT279753 and MK453362 was submitted to NCBI. Conclusion: The result revealed that isolates have potent probiotic properties and possess a direct influence on the production of antimicrobial metabolites. These parameters can be modified for the improvement of the potentiality of the isolates.

Probiotic Properties

Budu is a fermented food resulting from the activities of microorganisms like lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Budu, therefore, serves as a source of probiotics that can have beneficial effects on livestock and humans. Nonetheless, their selection has to be done with caution. The current study purposed to find out whether budu has desirable probiotic properties. This was done by determining its pH, bile acid tolerance, hydrophobicity, and inhibition of pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, and Escherichia coli. An in vitro experiment was conducted using three Saccharomyces cerevisiae (coded as SC 11, SC 12, and SC 21) in the preparation of budu. The whole experiment was repeated four times. The budus were tested for their probiotic properties (low pH, bile salts, hydrophobicity, and inhibition of pathogenic bacteria). The results showed that the three Saccharomyces cerevisiae survived in gastric juice and bile acid, exhibited good hydrophobicity, and could inhibit pathogenic bacteria, both gram-positive and negative pathogens. They were able to survive at pH 2 for 3 h (40.70 to 55.1%), at pH 2 for 5 h (35.25 to 46.88%), in 0.3% bile acid incubated for 3 h (69.69 to 86.56%), in 0.3% bile acid incubated for 5 h (82.22 to 88.18%) and hydrophobicity ability of 97.0 to 98.1%. The inhibition activity against pathogenic bacteria, that is, Escherichia coli was 2.50 to 3.81 mm, Staphylococcus aureus was 1.66 to 3.71 mm, and Salmonella enteritidis was 1.20 to 2.64 mm.

Probiotics are living microbial food supplements which beneficially affect the host by improving the intestinal microbial balance. Before an organism can be designated as probiotic there are certain criteria that must be fulfilled. These include acid and bile tolerance, antimicrobial activity, ability to co-aggregate, hydrophobicity etc. One hundred and eighty one indigenous yeast isolates recovered from various fermented food products of Nigeria were characterized and grouped using phenotypic methods. Forty two selected yeast isolates were identified using molecular method which involved sequencing of D1 and D2 domain of the large subunit of ribosomal DNA. Then nine indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae were evaluated for their probiotic characteristics such as acid and bile tolerance, transit in simulated gastric and intestinal juices, autoaggregation and hydrophobicity. Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC10 was included as a positive control. The S. cerevisiae were able to grow in the presence of acidic medium with pH as low as 2 and 3. In the minimum inhibitory concentration test with 0-1% ox bile, all the S. cerevisiae tested were able to grow. The growth for 3% bile tolerance test ranged from 4.81 to 5.35 log cfu/ml. These isolates were able to survive in simulated gastro-intestinal transit. All the yeast isolates exhibited bile salt deconjugation activity against sodium glycodeoxycholate and were able to grow in the presence of all other bile salts investigated. Autoaggregation ability (an adhesive property) of the indigenous yeast isolates ranged from 89.80% for S. cerevisiae BK19 to 99.91% for S. cerevisiae OB03. The native yeast isolates also exhibited high percentage hydrophobicity, another adhesive property of probiotics. The values obtained ranged from 31.62 to 83.45% for isolates AG23A and OB 17. These observations indicate that the native yeast isolates from Nigerian fermented foods have the potential of being use as probiotics for making functional foods.

Objective: The antimicrobial activity and Probiotic properties of Lactobacillus species were evaluated. The antimicrobial compound of potent antimicrobial probiotic Lactobacillus was purified by column chromatography and its nature and stability were determined.Methods: This investigation was performed with few Lactobacillus strains of ATCC and MTCC along with certain strains isolated from different dairy sources. They were evaluated for their probiotics properties (acid tolerance, bile tolerance, bile salt hydrolase activity, cell autoaggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity and haemolytic behaviour). Agar well diffusion method was used to screen their potency to release bioactive compound against several pathogens. This potent antimicrobial compound was purified by chromatography as well as its molecular mass was estimated by following SDS-PAGE. Finally, the stability of the compound was determined against various ranges of temperature and pH.Results: Among all Lactobacillus strains, R1 was found to be a potent probiotic strain as well as cell free supernatant (CFS) of R1 showed more strong antagonistic effect against most of the pathogens. Carbohydrate fermentation and physiological characterization of strain R1 matched with Lactobacillus fermentum as per Bergey’s manual of systematic bacteriology. The molecular mass of the purified fraction was estimated at approximately 25 kDa and could be stable after heat treatment of 100 °C for 30 min and pH range of 4.5-7.0Conclusion: R1 showed highest antimicrobial activity while it has been found as Lactobacillus fermentum. It is due to the release of a bioactive compound having a molecular mass of 25 kDa.
