The aim of the study was to isolate and characterize the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from animal manure. Among the thirty LAB strains, four strains, namely, KCC-25, KCC-26, KCC-27, and KCC-28, showed good cell growth and antifungal activity and were selected for further characterization. Biochemical and physiology properties of strains confirmed that the strains are related to theLactobacillussp.; further, the 16S rRNA sequencing confirmed 99.99% sequence similarity towardsLactobacillus plantarum. The strains exhibited susceptibility against commonly used antibiotics with negative hemolytic property. Strains KCC-25, KCC-26, KCC-27, and KCC-28 showed strong antifungal activity againstAspergillus fumigatus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium roqueforti, Botrytis elliptica, andFusarium oxysporum, respectively. Fermentation studies noted that the strains were able to produce significant amount of lactic, acetic, and succinic acids. Further, the production of extracellular proteolytic and glycolytic enzymes, survival under low pH, bile salts, and gastric juice together with positive bile salt hydrolase (Bsh) activity, cholesterol lowering, cell surface hydrophobicity, and aggregation properties were the strains advantages. Thus, KCC-25, KCC-26, KCC-27, and KCC-28 could have the survival ability in the harsh condition of the digestive system in the gastrointestinal tract. In conclusion, novelL. plantarumKCC-25, KCC-26, KCC-27, and KCC-28 could be considered as potential antimicrobial probiotic strains.

This study investigated the antipathogenic activity and probiotic potential of indigenous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Chinese homemade pickles. In total, 27 samples were collected from different sites in China. Fifty-nine yielded pure colonies were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as LAB and were initially evaluated for the antibacterial activity in vitro. Initial screening yielded Lactobacillus plantarum GS083, GS086, and GS090, which showed a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogens, especially multidrug-resistant pathogens. Meanwhile, organic acids were mainly responsible for the antimicrobial activity of the LAB strains, and the most abundant of these was lactic acid (19.32 ± 0.95 to 24.79 ± 0.40 g/l). Additionally, three L. plantarum strains demonstrated several basic probiotic characteristics including cell surface hydrophobicity, autoaggregation, and survival under gastrointestinal (GI) tract conditions. The safety of these isolates was also evaluated based on their antibiotic susceptibility, hemolytic risk, bile salt hydrolase activity, and existence of virulence or antibiotic resistance genes. All strains were safe at both the genomic and phenotypic levels. Therefore, L. plantarum GS083, GS086, and GS090 are fairly promising probiotic candidates and may be favorable for use as preservatives in the food industry.

In this paper, an investigation on lactic acid bacterial isolates from ethnic goat raw milk samples were examined for their probiotic potential and safety parameters. For this purpose, isolated bacterial cultures were screened based on certain parameters viz., sugar fermentation, tolerance to temperature, salt, low pH, bile salts, and phenol resistance. After that, these bacterial cultures were more estimated in vitro for auto-aggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity, response to simulated stomach duodenum channel, antibiotic resistance, and antimicrobial activity. Besides, probiotic traits show the absence of gelatinase and hemolytic activity supports its safety. The isolate G24 showed good viability at different pH, bile concentration, phenol resistance and response to simulated stomach duodenum passage but it did not show gelatinase and hemolytic activities. Isolate G24 was susceptible to amikacin, carbenicillin, kanamycin, ciprofloxacin, co-trimazine, nitrofurantoin, streptomycin, and tetracycline. Isolate G24 also exhibited antimicrobial action against five common pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogens, and Salmonella typhimurium. It displayed the maximum auto-aggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity to different hydrocarbons. Following molecular characterization the isolate G24 was identified as Enterococcus hirae with 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogeny. E. hirae G24 bears the excellent properties of probiotics.

AbstractAnimal microbiota is becoming an object of interest as a source of beneficial bacteria for commercial use. Moreover, the escalating problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is threatening animals and humans; therefore, in the last decade intensive search for alternative antimicrobials has been observed. In this study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from suckling and weaned pigs feces (376) and characterized to determine their functional properties and usability as pigs additives. Selection of the most promising LAB was made after each stage of research. Isolates were tested for their antimicrobial activity (376) and susceptibility to antibiotics (71). Selected LAB isolates (41) were tested for the production of organic acids, enzymatic activity, cell surface hydrophobicity and survival in gastrointestinal tract. Isolates selected for feed additive (5) were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and partial sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene, represented by Lentilactobacillus, Lacticaseibacillus (both previously classified as Lactobacillus) and Pediococcus genus. Feed additive prototype demonstrated high viability after lyophilization and during storage at 4 °C and − 20 °C for 30 days. Finally, feed additive was tested for survival in simulated alimentary tract of pigs, showing viability at the sufficient level to colonize the host. Studies are focused on obtaining beneficial strains of LAB with probiotic properties for pigs feed additive.

Bakuchiol is an active component ofPsoralea glandulosaandPsoralea corylifolia, used in traditional Chinese medicine. The study aimed at investigating the antifungal activity of bakuchiol on planktonic and biofilm forms of orally associatedCandidaspecies. The antifungal susceptibility testing was determined by the broth micro dilution technique. Growth kinetics and cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) ofCandidawere measured to assess the inhibitory effect of bakuchiol onCandidaplanktonic cells. Biofilm biomass and cellular metabolic activity were quantitatively estimated by the crystal violet (CV) and the 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino)carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide (XTT) assays. AllCandidastrains have been shown to be susceptible to bakuchiol with the MIC ranges from 12.5 to 100 μg/mL. Significant decrease in specific growth rates and viable counts demonstrates the inhibitory effect of bakuchiol onCandidaplanktonic cells. A brief exposure to bakuchiol also reduced CSH ofCandida(P<0.05), indicating altered surface properties of yeast cells towards hydrophobic interfaces. Biofilm biomass and cell metabolic activity were mostly decreased, except forC. glabrata(P=0.29). The antifungal properties of bakuchiol onCandidaspecies in thisin vitrostudy may give insights into the application in therapeutic strategy againstCandidainfections.

Abstract Background The health-promoting effects along with global economic importance of consuming food products supplemented with probiotic microorganisms encouraged the researchers to discover new probiotics. Results Fourteen lactic acid bacterial isolates were identified as Enterococcus mediterraneensis, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Streptococcus lutetiensis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and in vitro characterized for their actual probiotic potential. All E. mediterraneensis isolates were resistant to clindamycin, whereas Lb. fermentum isolates were resistant to ampicillin, clindamycin, and vancomycin. The E. mediterraneensis and Lb. fermentum isolates displayed high overall digestive survival, ranged from 1.35 ± 0.06 to 32.73 ± 0.84% and from 2.01 ± 0.01 to 23.9 ± 1.85%, respectively. All isolates displayed cell surface hydrophobicity, ranged between 15.44 ± 6.72 and 39.79 ± 2.87%. The strongest auto-aggregation capability, higher than 40%, was observed for most E. mediterraneensis and Lb. fermentum isolates. The E. mediterraneensis isolates (L2, L12, and L15), Lb. fermentum (L8, L9, and L10), and Strep. lutetiensis (L14) exhibited the greatest co-aggregation with Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus. Fifty-seven and fourteen hundredth percent of E. mediterraneensis isolates could be considered bacteriocinogenic against E. coli O157:H7, B. cereus, and S. aureus. Conclusion This study is the first one to isolate Enterococcus mediterraneensis in Egypt and to characterize it as new species of probiotics globally. According to the results, E. mediterraneensis (L2, L12, and L15), Lb. fermentum (L8, L9, and L10), and Strep. lutetiensis (L14) are the most promising in vitro probiotic candidates.

Fermented foods are high in nutrient content than any other category of foods due to the presence of live microorganisms called probiotics. Its application in manufacturing of dairy foods and role in different types of disease prevention ranks it as the most exuberant. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria from native curd samples collected from dairy farms of Odisha state of India and explore its probiotic potential. Three morphologically distinct bacterial strains were isolated using MRS agar plates. The biochemical study confirmed that all the isolates were gram-positive. The molecular approaches were used to analyze the taxonomical diversity of isolates. 16 S rRNA sequencing was carried out and the bacterial isolates were taxonomically classified as Lactobacillus sp., Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei with NCBI Gene bank accession number [MG573071], [MG573072] and [MG573073] respectively. Further, the isolated bacterial strains were screened for their acid and bile tolerance competence as a principal criterion for probiotic. Among the isolates Lactobacillus casei (MG573073) was found to be highly tolerant of low pH and bile salts, posed strongest cell surface hydrophobicity of 75%. However, the maximum zone of inhibition was observed against Amoxilline/clavunic acid 44mm. The cell growth was found higher in presence of 2% inulin with cell viability 9.11 log 10 CFU/ml. In conclusion, based on the obtained results, Lactobacillus casei can act as a suitable probiotic candidate.

Probiotics are living microbes that are beneficial to humans. They replenish the human gut microflora after antibiotic usage and also help to fight off pathogenic microbes. Probiotics can be either natural such as curd, or synthesized, such as the Japanese drink Yakult. Most fermented Indian foods contain probiotic microorganisms, however, their properties are not well studied. In this study, different microbial isolates (8 Lactic acid bacteria and 6 yeasts) were isolated from four traditional fermented foods commonly consumed in India. Six yeast isolates were screened for different probiotic attributes. Three yeast strains were found to tolerate highly acidic conditions and bile salt concentrations of 5% and 10%. They were able to grow at 37oC and also showed cell surface-hydrophobicity and auto-aggregation ability. Two of these isolates showed production of proteases but none of them produced amylase. These isolates were also found to be resistant to ampicillin and amoxicillin. These isolates appeared to be potential probiotic candidates and need to be investigated further.
