Searching for bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLISs)-producing lactic acid bacteria in Thai fermented foods

Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria from jiang-sun (fermented bamboo shoots), a traditional fermented food in Taiwan

“…Lactobacillus plantarum has been identified elsewhere as one of the most abundant LAB found in Indian fermented bamboo shoot products 1, 2. As well as L. plantarum , other LAB species such as L. brevis, L. pentosus, L. fermentum and Pediococcus pentosaceus have been frequently found in the Indian and Thai fermented bamboo shoot products 1, 2, 4, 5. However, only E. faecium and L. plantarum were found during the fermentation of jiang‐sun .…”

“…There is a lack of information on the natural microflora of bamboo shoots from Taiwan; however, in the literature we found some reports on the lactic microflora of bamboo shoots fermented in India and Thailand. For example, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are distributed in Indian fermented bamboo shoot products ( mesu )1, 2 and Thai fermented bamboo shoot products ( naw‐mai‐dong ) 3–5. In these cited studies, various lactobacilli species, such as Lactobacillus plantarum , L. pentosus, L. brevis and L. fermentum , were frequently found in fermented bamboo shoot products.…”

In vitro Antioxidant Potential of Cell Free Supernatant of Probiotic Bacteria

“…The applications of LAB have already been proved safety profile and efficiency of promising future of GRAS organisms as the expression system of choice that can revolutionize the field of recombinant protein production 6 . The inhibitory substances produced by bacteria can be generally proteins 22 . The proteinaceous nature of the L. plantarum and L. acidophillus for antimicrobial activity was clearly understood by the quantitative analysis of protein present in it.…”
