Screening, isolation and biotechnological potentials of foodborne Lactobacillus fermentum strains MT903311 and MT903312.

ABSTRACT: Vitamins are an essential food source with excellent roles in the cellular metabolism and other essential nutrients required in food intake but cannot be synthesized by humans. There have been reports of some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) abilities with probiotic activities to produce food-grade vitamins. Our study aimed to investigate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) possessing antimicrobial activities and extracellular production of folate from different Nigerian fermented foods. LAB was assayed for their antimicrobial activities against clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium and their extracellular production of essential vitamins. Among the 43 isolates of LAB, two strains of Lactobacillus fermentum showed the highest inhibitions against the test ba
