Lipolytic Lactobacillus Species from Camel Milk

Abstract

Over the past few years, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have received extensive consideration as probiotics. Probiotics concepts have gained so much of popularity and extend from traditional dairy products to a profitable market of probiotic health supplements and functional foods. Probiotics are known for their health benefits as well as their human friendly nature. Probiotic lactic acid bacteria with lipolytic activity can be helpful for people's suffering from high serum lipid level. Consumption of such products contained lipolytic probiotic lactic acid bacteria can help to reduce the occurrence of consequences associated with high serum level. In the present work, two bacterial isolates were purified from camel milk. Sequencing of 16S rDNA/D1/D2 domain of LSU rDNA or ITS region and BLAST analysis lipolytic bacterial isolates were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus, Innovation of this work is use of camel milk sample for isolation of lipid degrading probiotic Lactobacillus bacteria which is easily available in Rajasthan region. Lactobacillus spp purified from screened sample showed significant lipase activity hence probiotic formulation developed from the same can be helpful for those people suffering from complications associated with high lipid level.
