Abstract

This Dissertation / Report is the outcome of investigation carried out by the creator(s) / author(s) at the department/division of Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore mentioned below in this page.

Item Type:	Student Project Report
Additional Information:	Lactic acid bacteria are widely used as a starter culture in food fermentation. Bacteriocin producing LAB were isolated and identified as Enterococcus spp by microbial, biochemical methods, from naturally fermented idli batter. On initial screening based on their anti-listerial activity, the native isolates showed antagonistic activity against several Listeria species. Molecular conformations using Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed the native species to be Enterococcus faecium. The bacteriocins produced from the native isolates were characterized as anti-listerial, heat-stable, enterocin type, class II bacteriocins.
Uncontrolled Keywords:	Lactic Acid Bacteria Fermented Food Products Bacteriocinogenic LAB bacteriocins
