Antimicrobial, antioxidant and probiotics characterization of dominant bacterial isolates from traditional fermented fish of Manipur, North-East India.

ABSTRACT: Utonga-kupsu, Hentak and Ngari are traditional fermented fish products produced by the Manipuri people living in the North-Eastern part of India. The present study was designed with the aim to isolate, identify and characterize the microorganisms present in these fermented foods. Bacterial pure cultures were isolated using serially diluted samples and were further identified by conventional biochemical tests and Sanger sequencing of 16s rRNA gene. Results show that the number of bacterial count in Nutrient agar and Starch casein agar was 14-20 and 10-16 CFU/g, respectively. A total of 46 morphologically different bacterial strains were identified and assigned under the phylum Firmicutes. Identified bacterial strains belonged to the genus Bacillus and S
