Growth Kinetics of Probiotic Lactobacillus Strains in the Alternative, Cost-Efficient Semi-Solid Fermentation Medium

Abstract: The growing need for Lactobacillus bacteria usage in industry and the expending probiotic market led to a search for new cost-efficient fermentation media from which a high yield of these bacteria could be obtained. The following study aimed to elaborate cultivation medium, for Lactobacillus spp. growth, which main components would be wheat, maize, barley, and rye flours. The optimal temperature for Lactobacillus growth in new semi-solid fermentation (SSF) medium, water content, and pH of the medium were analy… Show more

“…The acidity alteration described as pH and lactic acid concentrations of media supplemented with various carbon sources is illustrated in Figure 4 . Lactic acid is known as a by-product of bacterial anaerobic fermentation and is responsible for the reduction of pH in the media [ 9 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]. As shown in the figure, low pH and high lactic acid content (LA) were attained in both bacterial strains at longer fermentation time due to the oligosaccharide structure of MPOS substrate that was gradually degraded to small molecules of sugars which were later converted to LA via an anaerobic glycolysis pathway by the probiotic bacteria [ 85 ].…”

“…The production of organic acids by lactobacilli strains depends on the composition of the media [ 43 , 44 ]. In our study, the nitrogen and carbon sources available in bacuri juice were sufficient for synthesis of lactic acid by L. rhamnosus ATCC 9595.…”

“…Some studies showed that LAB cells can completely hydrolyze α and β-casein in 4 h of digestion at 30 °C. Śliżewska and Chlebicz-Wójcik [ 53 ] indicated that LAB strains showed complete hydrolysis in probiotic-treated yogurt as compared to control. Hence, the results of the current study also indicate that the utilization of LAB bacteria in milk products will help to prolong storage and preservation time.…”
