Preliminary in vitro assessment of probiotic properties of Bacillus subtilis GM1, a spore forming bacteria isolated from goat milk.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Species of the Bacillus genus have a long history of use in biotechnology. Some Bacillus strains have recently been identified for food applications and industrial as safe bacteria, which mostly have been recognized as probiotic strains.

Aims

The primary purpose of the current study was to evaluate the probiotic characteristics of Bacillus subtilis strains isolated and identified from the goat milk samples.

Methods

After sampling from 40 goat milk and cultivation, suspected colonies were subjected to biochemical and molecular identification. Then, the confirmed isolate was assessed for in vitro probiotic tests, including hemolysis and lecithinase properties, bile salt, acid, and artificial gastric juice resistance, antioxidant ac
