Özet

In this study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolation from fermented foods and molecular identification using magnetic bead technology were performed. And then exopolysaccharide (EPS) production possibility was tested in agar medium, and the positive ones were selected for the next step. The bacteria that could produce higher carbohydrate level were grown in MRS medium fortified with whey and pumpkin waste. In our study, 19 different LAB species were identified from fermented products collected from different places in Hatay (Türkiye) province. In molecular identification, universal primer pairs, p806R/p8FPL, and PEU7/DG74 were used for PCR amplification. After that, PCR products purified using paramagnetic bead technology were sequenced by the Sanger sequencing method. The dominant species, 23.8% of the isolates, were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. As a technological property of LAB, exopolysaccharide production capability of forty-two LAB isolate was tested in agar medium, and after eleven isolates were selected as positive. Two LAB (Latilactobacillus curvatus SHA2-3B and Loigolactobacillus coryniformis SHA6-3B) had higher EPS production capability when they were grown in MRS broth fortified with pumpkin waste and whey. The highest EPS content (1750 mg/L glucose equivalent) was determined in Loigolactobacillus coryniformis SHA6-3B grown in MRS broth fortified with 10% pumpkin waste. Besides the produced EPS samples were validated with FTIR and SEM methods.
