TI  - Some probiotic properties of yeast isolates from infant faeces and Feta cheese.
PG  - 125-33
AB  - Yeast isolates from infant faeces and Feta cheese were characterized to species 
      level by phenotypic criteria, Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR and 
      mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) restriction analysis. Results suggested that there is 
      a good agreement between phenotypic characterization of yeasts and RAPD-PCR at 
      species level; in addition, RAPD-PCR as well as mt-DNA restriction analysis 
      provided good discrimination at strain level. Some technological and probiotic 
      properties of selected strains were also investigated. The test strains exhibited 
      lipolytic and proteolytic activities. They also tolerated low pH and survived 
      satisfactory in gastric juice in vitro as well as in the presence of bile. In 
      general, the isolates from faeces were more resistant to low pH and bile than 
      those from Feta cheese. Selected strains could be used as starter supplements for 
      industrial fermentations.
