Abstract in English
Thirty strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from different local
fermented foods. Isolates were identified by using morphological, cultural and
biochemical tests using the API 50-CHL and API 20 Strep systems. Preliminary
characterization tests showed that 33.33% of the isolates were rod shaped and
66.67% belonged to cocci bacteria.
