Probiotics are living microorganism which when consumed in adequate amount provide health benefit to the host, examples lactic acid bacteria gram positive organisms that can withstand different environmental stress during production and storage of products containing them. This study aims evaluate probiotic potential (LAB) strains isolated from pineapple water melon. The materials used evaluati...

During a study on lactic acid bacteria (and their species diversity) in spontaneous heap fermentations of Ghanaian cocoa beans, two strains, designated 215(T) and 194B, were isolated. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that these strains represented a distinct lineage close to the genus Weissella and showing only 92.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with r...

Anthracnose disease is still a threat to avocado fruit quality, and the use of fungicide (Plochloraz®) for its control has generated safety concerns that necessitate search alternatives. Therefore, efficiency lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fresh fruits vegetables as biocontrol agents against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was investigated in this study. Weissella cibaria 21 (LAB 21), ...
