| Additional Information: | The present work aims at characterizing native isolates of LAB to the specific genera and species. Besides, the work also attempts to screen the native isolates of LAB for antibacterial activity and characterize the potential principle, if associated with any of the native isolates for antibacterial activity. The LAB are the predominant probiotic bacteria which are used traditionally in dairy technology and are considered to have no pathogenic potential. Several species of LAB are used commercially for the production of fermented dairy and meat products like yoghurt, buttermilk, salami sausages and pickled vegetables. The antimicrobial substances produced by several species and strains of lactic acid bacteria could offer alternatives to chemical food additives used to control harmful contaminants in food. The bacteriocins from the lactic acid bacteria have the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status and are effective inhibitors of pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria in various foods. These proteinacious compounds have gained great attention and has wide application. The cultures of LAB included in the present investigation have shown the potential to possess antibacterial properties. |
