Abstract

Twenty-five lactic acid bacterial (LAB) strains have been isolated from traditional goat butter and three types of cheese (dry Klila, frech Klila, and Bouhezza) and evaluated for technological abilities, probiotic properties, and potentials as starter cultures. The twenty-five LAB strains comprised eight strains belonging to Lactobacillus, four strains belonging to Lactococcus, eleven strains belonging to Enterococcus, and two strains belonging to Leuconostoc. A non-hierarchical cluster analysis was performed in order to select the performing strains. After carrying out the preliminary phenotypic characterizations and the probiotic potential, three strains designated as BM10, B15, and C30 belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and Enterococcus with good tolerance to acidity were selected. The strains showed a significant resistance to 0.5% bile salts and 0.4% phenol. Hemolytic activity was not detected; in addition, good hydrophobicity and autoaggregation was obtained. A significant antimicrobial activity was exhibited by all selected strains against Listeria innocua. Genotypic identification by 16S rRNA allowed the identification of B15, BM10, and C30 as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, and Enterococcus durans, respectively. The results of the current study suggest that the strains isolated from Algerian fermented dairy products have high potential as probiotic starter cultures in the goat butter and cheese industry.
