A REVIEW ON LACTIC ACID BACTERIA FROM AGRICULTURAL SOIL Authors: Prajapati P , BHATT D, UPADHAYAY D, ANDHARE P
ABSTRACT
The Lactic acid bacteria is very well-known Bacteria, Lactobacillus are an order of Grampositive,
low-GC, acid- Tolerant, generally nonsporulating, non-respiring, it is either rod-shaped
(bacilli) or (cocci) bacteria that share common metabolic and physiological characteristics.LAB
has a long history of being used safely in a variety of food products. Members of the genera
Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium have been designated as "generally recognized
as safe.Members of the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp.are the most commonly
studied intestinal bacteria for potential probiotic use.Lactic acid bacillus are bacteria that have
been inactivated and are beneficial to the stomach. They stop other pathogenic bacteria from
growing and causing diarrhea or other bacterial infections. It aids in the treatment of bacterial
infections. (LAB) are heterogenous group of bacteria which plays a significant role in a variety
of fermentation processes. They ferment food carbohydrates and produce lactic acid as the main
product of fermentation like cheese, yoghurt, fermented milks), meat, fish, fruit, vegetable and
cereal products. Current studies suggest that lactic acid bacteria possess anti-obesity and antidiabetic
propensities on their hosts and thus can play a crucial role in human health care.
Research in the rheological and physicochemical properties of ice cream as well as its
applications are also on the increase.
