Abstract:
In the present study, unconventional sources were selected for isolation of LAB. The selected sample was apple, pomegranate and tomato. Isolation was done by following conventional method of isolation, followed by morphological and biochemical characterization. The isolates were Gram-positive, cocco-bacilli in shape and catalase-negative. Further molecular characterization of isolated was done by 16s rRNA sequencing and isolates were confirmed as Lactobacillus acidophilus in molecular characterization.
