Fifteen Lactobacillus strains were characterized for probiotic properties. Of these, 13 of the strains were Lactobacillus plantarum. L. acidophilus and L. pentosus were also included as controls. Among the several requirements, tolerance to acid and bile salts, ability to ferment fructooligosaccharides (FOS), beta-galactosidase activity and susceptibility to antibiotics were studied. Acid-tolerant isolates were L. plantarum HU, L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, L. plantarum 80, L. plantarum DSM 20174, L. plantarum DSM 20246, L. plantarum 37, and L. acidophilus ATCC 4356. Acid- and bile-tolerant isolates were L. plantarum 80, L. plantarum DSM 20174, L. plantarum DSM 20246, L. plantarum 37, L. plantarum HU, and L. acidophilus ATCC 4356. Eight of the strains had the ability to ferment FOS. These were, L. plantarum 80, L. plantarum DSM 20174, L. plantarum DSM 20246, L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, L. plantarum 37, L. plantarum 73, and L. plantarum HU. Strains L. plantarum 80, and L. plantarum 37 are highly resistant to antibiotics tested. L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, and L. pentosus had the highest beta-galactosidase activities. According to the obtained results, L. plantarum 37 L. plantarum 80, L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, and L. plantarum HU were found to be the most promising strains as probiotics.

Immunization of the industrial fermentation starter culture strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a contaminating killer toxin-producing Candida tropicalis Izgu, F; Altinbay, D; Derinel, Y (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) K3 killer trait was introduced into the fermentation starter strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae BSP 1 in order to construct immune industrial strain that produces K3 type killer toxin and was resistant to Candida tropicalis (K+) contamination. Protoplasts of respiration-deficient Rhodegrees strain of S. cerevisiae NCYC 761 (K3) and S. cerevisiae BSP 1 were fused. The resulting respiration-competent hybrid with K3 type killer activity was selected on media containing a non-fermentable carbon source and by a ...
Interactions of high hydrostatic pressure, pressurization temperature and pH on death and injury of pressure-resistant and pressure-sensitive strains of foodborne pathogens Alpas, Hami; BOZOGLU, F; RAY, B (Elsevier BV, 2000-09-15) The objective of this: study is to determine the interactions between high hydrostatic pressure, pressurization temperature, time and pH during pressurization on death and injury of pressure-resistant and pressure-sensitive strains of four foodborne pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus 485 and 765, Listeria monocytogenes CA and OH2, Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 and 931, Salmonella enteritidis FDA and Salmonella typhimurium E21274. Among these strains S. aureus 485, L. monocytogenes CA, E, coli O157:H7 933 and S...
Characterization of extracellular beta-lactamases from penicillin G-resistant cells of Streptococcus thermophilus Chirica, LC; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Bozoglu, F (International Association for Food Protection, 1998-07-01) In this study, biochemical properties of two extracellular beta-lactamases produced by penicillin-resistant Streptococcus thermophilus cells were investigated. Both beta-lactamases showed specificity for penicillins but not for cephaloridins. The p-lactamases exhibited different affinities for penicillin G. The one with the higher molecular weight (F1) had a K(m) value of 3.44 mu M and a V(max), value of 8.33, mu mol/min/mg of protein, whereas the beta-lactamase with the lower molecular weight (FII) had a K...
Inactivation of Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua in kiwifruit and pineapple juices by high hydrostatic pressure Buzrul, Sencer; Alpas, Hami; Largeteau, Alain; Demazeau, Gerard (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-10) Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua in kiwifruit and pineapple juices were exposed to high hydrostatic Pressure (HHP) at 300 MPa for 5 min. Both bacteria showed equal resistance to HHR Using low (0 degrees C) or subzero (- 10 degrees C) temperatures instead of room temperature (20 degrees C) during pressurization did not change the effectiveness of HHP treatment oil both bacteria in Studied juices. Pulse pressure treatment (multiple Pulses for a total holding time of 5 min at 300 MPa) instead of continuou...
Identification and killer activity of a yeast contaminating starter cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used in the Turkish baking industry Izgu, F; Altinbay, D; Yucelis, A (Elsevier BV, 1997-04-01) The yeast contaminating the starter cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation strains BSP 1-4, used in the Turkish baking industry, was identified as Candida tropicalis with a killer phenotype. The activity of the killer toxin against the industrial strains was optimum at pH 3.9 and 4.1 at 22-25 degrees C. The activities of some killer toxin-producing yeasts of known phenotypes against C. tropicalis were determined. Among the yeasts tested S. cerevisiae K3 and Hansenula anamola K8 were inhibitory to...
