Fourteen bacterial strains showing promising antimicrobial activity were identified and assigned to the genera Lactobacillus, Pediococcus and Weissella, on the basis of their morphological, biochemical, physiological characteristics, carbohydrate fermentation pattern and 16S rRNA gene sequences.
Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from curd and cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ) samples. The culture supernatants were screened for antimicrobial activity against LAB. Fourteen bacterial strains showing promising antimicrobial activity were further characterized by biochemical and molecular methods. These isolates were assigned to the genera Lactobacillus, Pediococcus and Weissella, on the basis of their morphological, biochemical, physiological characteristics, carbohydrate fermentation pattern and 16S rRNA gene sequences.
