BIOSURFACTANT AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OF FERMENTED FOODS
Journal Title: Asian Journal Of Pharmaceutical Research and Development - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Biosurfactants or surface-active compounds are biodegradable, non-toxic and ecofriendly compounds released by microorganisms. The purpose of this work was toevaluate the potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) present in fermented foods as biosurfactants producers and their antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria. The results revealed that a total of twenty LAB were isolated from different sources of fermented foods and were screened for biosurfactant production and antimicrobial activity.Six isolates namely Fm1 isolated from fermented milk, Y1 isolated from Arabic yogurt, Gr isolated from fermented grape, So isolated from soil, Fm3 isolated from fermented milk and Y2 from Arabic yogurt produced biosurfactants with antimicrobial activities. Addition of cell free supernatant (CFS) from the six isolates reduced the surface tension of water from 72.22mN/mto an average of 37.21mN/m. The CFS of the six isolates showed emulsion index (EI24) of 90% for diesel and motor oil while 80% for crude oil. Additionally, the CFS of the six isolates showed strong inhibition activity against the target pathogens (P. florescence, P. aeroginosaATCC2785, P. aeruginosa14T28, E. coliandS. Typhimurium) with inhibition zone between 15 and 33.4 mm in diameter. Identification using 16s rDNA identifiedthe isolates as L. acidophilus for Fm1, L.pentosusfor Y1, L.fermentumfor Gr, L.plantarumforSo, L.lactisfor Fm3 and L.caseifor Y2.This study concluded that CFS of LAB isolated from fermented foods possess both biosurfactant and antimicrobial activities that could be further exploited for food and pharmaceutical applications
