Assessment of cell surface properties and adhesion potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Lasoda bari - A rare fermented food of Himachal Pradesh (India)


Anupama Gupta, Nivedita Sharma

One of the most significant groups of probiotic organisms are the lactic acid bacteria, withrnfermentative, biopreservative and various health benefits. Most important criterion during probioticrnselection is the adhesion to the luminal epithelium to colonize the gastrointestinal tract of a human andrnto provide health benefits and safety against GI disorders after being consumed. Present study wasrnaimed to evaluate in vitro adhesion of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Lasoda bari- a rare fomentedrnfood product of Himachal Pradesh (India) to gut mucosa and epithelial cell lines. Pediococcusrnpentosaceus LB-CC and Pediococcus pentosaceus LB-WC were found to exhibit 87.0 and 88.0 %rnhydrophobicity, produced exopolysaccharides, showed 68.56 and 49.62% adherence to gastric mucinrnand efficiently adhered to human epithelial cell lines. Overall, both isolates fulfilled the essentialrncriteria for their selection and could be recommend for the nutraceutical product formulations tornprovide health benefits to human beings.
