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:	A study was carried out with an objective of isolating lactic acid bacteria associated with fresh water fish viscera and characterizing them in order to explore the possibilities of utilizing then as probiotics in feed. Fish processing generates considerable quantities of waste in the form of head, viscera, scale, skin, etc. These inedible byproducts harbor various types of microorganisms both harmful as well as beneficial types. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the beneficial organisms present in most of the natural products and fish waste is not an exception. The study included enumeration of LAB count in fresh fish waste and also in the fermented fish waste. The isolated LAB was identified by different biochemical tests and was also tested for their antimicrobial action against selected human pathogens.
