An evaluation of in-vitro potential of novel Lactobacillus Paraplantarum KM0 (KX671558) strain isolated from milk

Abstract

Present study was carried out to evaluate probiotic potential of novel bacterial strain i.e., L. paraplantarum KM0 (accession number KX671558) isolated 1st time from pooled milk of Himachal Pradesh. L. paraplantarum KM0 exhibited antimicrobial activity against pathogenic food borne microorganisms (with 100% inhibition), highest viable counts at low acid value (i.e. at pH 2.0 and 3.0), 0.3% bile salt tolerance, 36.6% autoaggregation, co-Aggregation ability (20.0%), 95% cell surface hydrophobicity against O-xylene and antibiotic susceptibility against most of the antibiotics used. All these desirable attributes make this strain a robust probiotic.
