| new efficient amylase-producing strains of lactobacillus plantarum and l. fermentum isolated from different nigerian traditional fermented foods. | amylolytic lactic acid bacteria (alab) were isolated from nigerian traditional fermented foods (fufu, burukutu, ogi-baba and kunu-zakki) with the aim of selecting efficient amylase-producing strains. nine isolates were characterized on the basis of their phenotypic and taxo-molecular characteristics. three groups could be distinguished by their fermentation profiles and this was confirmed by dna restriction analysis. though fermentation profiles gave good identification of strain k9 (unique repr ... | 2002 | 11843413 |
