Four strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from different genus، species and
sources were tested for their abilities to bind of AFM1 for 14 hours.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus LC705 showed higher ability to bind AFM1 (88.35%)،
followed by Bifidobacteri
um bifidum BG1 (84.21%), Lactobacillus bulgaricus
R21 by 80.41% and finally Streptococcus thermophilus by 71.52% after 14
hours of incubation.
This research was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Department of
Food Science laboratories to isolate lactic acid bacteria from some Syrian milk
products (milk, yogurt, cheese) and determine some morphological,
physiological characteristic and the ability of these isolates to ferment sugars.
This research was conducted in the Agriculture Faculty- Food Science
Department, Damascus University, for detecting Lactic acid bacteria isolated
from Syrian dairy products (white fresh cheese-Leben), Samples were collected
from August, 2004 to Oc
tober, 2005 from different areas in Syria. Analysis was
done for 245 bacterial isolates from 40 samples of white fresh cheese and 58
samples of yogurt (curd). Results showed that the genus Enterococcus was
dominant with a percentage of 47.52%; Pediococcus had a percentage of 26.3
%; while Lactococcus had a percentage of 15.38% with only 3.2% for
Lactobacillus.
