Identification and characterization of local isolates of lactic acid bacteria and testing their ability to produce diacetyl


Abstract in English

Fifty eight isolates of lactic acid bacteria were obtained from different local fermented foods. Isolates were identified using microscopic, cultural and biochemical tests using API strips. Results showed that 44.83% of the isolates were rod shaped and 55.17% belonged to cocci bacteria.
