The acid-producing capacity and proteolytic activity of 13 strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and 5 strains of Lactobacillus casei isolated from dry sausages was determined at different temperatures and at different NaCl concentrations. Most strains exhibited a maximum acid-producing rate at 30°C. According to the acidification rate at this temperature, strains were divided into three rate groups: fast (I), medium (II) and slow (III), with titratable acidity values above 1.7, between 0.7 and 1.4, and below 0.7, respectively. The decrease in pH ranged between 3.1 and 3.95 according to the group to which the strains belonged. The addition of 3% NaCl produced a marked decrease in the rate of acidification for strains in group II, a slight decrease for those in group I and no effect for those in group III. The proteolytic activity of the strains under study reached a maximum at 40°C, with values between 5.2 and 10 mg% tyrosine released. At 30°C, and in the presence of 3% NaCl, the greatest activity (5.4 mg% tyrosine) was observed in L. plantarum GV 417 and the lowest (3.4 mg% tyrosine) in L. plantarum GV 420. A decrease of approximately 80% in proteolytic activity for all strains was observed in the presence of 5% NaCl.

Bacteriocin is a secondary metabolite product of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) which have an antimicrobial and potentially as a natural preservative. LAB isolates used in this study were Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of bacteriocin produced by each isolate of LAB including the influence of pH and heating variation against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Antibacterial activity test was done by using disc diffusion method. method. Confirmation test using proteolytic enzyme aimed to analyse that the inhibition zone produced from the activity of bacteriocin. The inhibition zone produced from L. brevis, L. casei and L. plantarum against B. cereus were 15.70, 16.43 and 14.50 mm, against B. subtilis were 13.37, 14.10 and 12.53 mm and against S. epidermidis were 11.37, 14.50 and 12.45 mm. The activity of each bacteriocin decreased with the addition of trypsin and catalase, bacteriocin was active in the pH range of 2-10 and heating temperature of 40-121oC. Statistical test showed that the addition of trypsin, catalase and the variation of pH also heating had significant differences (p<0.05) to antibacterial activity produced by bacteriocin from L. brevis, L. casei and L. plantarum.

Biochemical changes in selected gamma-irradiation induced mutants of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus casei were examined. Cultures were tested after 24 h of incubation at 37 C for titratable and volatile acidities and proteolytic activity. The gamma-irradiation induced mutants exhibited 50–95% greater proteolytic activity than the unirradiated parent culutres. Some of the mutants produced greater titratable and volatile acidities in milk as compared to parent cultures. Two mutant cultures, Lb/G-1 from L. bulgaricus 59 and Lc/G-1 from L. casei RTS released significantly greater amounts of soluble nitrogen and amino nitrogen in whole casein and selected fractions than did parent cultures. Combining the mutant cultures with Streptococcus lactis C10 or Streptococcus cremoris C1 resulted in greater acid producing ability than that of the parent cultures mixed with the streptococci.
