ISOLATION , CHARACTERIZATION AND
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LACTOBACILLUS SP. USING
BIOCHEMIAL TESTS AND FTIR ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION:
 The Lactobacillus is a gram positive, facultative anaerobic or
microaerophilic, having low GC content, acid tolerant, non sporulating, rod
or cocci .
 Lactic acid bacteria comprises Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc,Pediococcus,
Lactococcus , Streptococcus (at core) and Enterococcus, Vagococcus,
Weisella (as peripheral).
 Members of Lactic acid bacteria ferment carbohydrates into energy and
lactic acid . Depending upon strain type metabolic pathways differ :
Homofermentative and Heterofermentative.
 FTIR was applied to charaterize Lactobacillus from different samples. In
this Comparitive study, ATCC 7469 was used as reference strain to
characterize and analyse the spectra.
2.
OBJECTIVES:
 The aim of this project was to isolate, characterize and do a comparative
study of Lactobacillus sp., from various sources of milk products.
 Isolation of Lactobacillus strains from different samples.
 Characterization by using conventional Gram’s Staining and
Biochemical Tests.
 Determination of best strain by studying the effects of various parameters
like absorbance, pH, free lactic acid formation and colony count.
 FTIR analysis for comparitive study of Lactobacillus strains isolated from
different samples with ATCC 7469 sample .

amount of free lactic acid produced for 100cc of milk was calculated as per
the formula below:
cc. of 0.2N alkali used
__________________ X 105 = cc of 0.2 NaOH required to neutralize the
lactic acid in 100 cc. of milk

FTIR ANALYSIS
 Preparation of samples for FTIR.
 Lyophilization of samples.
 Processing of samples for FTIR.
 Spectral analysis of samples.
- The process of curdling of milk involves the conversion of lactose to lactic
acid, The prominent groups of lactic acid are the carboxylic group (OH-C=O)
which lies in the range of wave numbers 1760-1670 cm-1
and the alkyl group
(-CH3) which lies in the range of wavenumbers 2960-2850 cm-1
.
- The detection and increase of these peaks in the spectra obtained by FTIR
indicate the positive production of lactic acid. An increase in peak height is
directly proportional to an increase in quantity.

CONCLUSION
 The aim of this project was to isolate, characterize and do a comparative
study of Lactobacillus sp. from various sources of milk products .
 Characterization was done by using conventional Gram’s Staining and
Biochemical Tests which have shown the presence of Lactobacillus to be
positive.
 After the Gram staining and Biochemical Tests to confirm the presence of
our desired strains we processed our sample by using FTIR.The importance
of this FTIR to characterize the organisms on genus and species level and
determine the best strain, as it states the amount of similarities between the
organisms.
 Effect of various parameters like Absorbance ,pH, amount of free lactic
acid formation and colony count gave the idea of best strain on comparing
with reference ATCC 7469 strain.

  • 24. - The process of curdling of milk involves the conversion of lactose to lactic acid, The prominent groups of lactic acid are the carboxylic group (OH-C=O) which lies in the range of wave numbers 1760-1670 cm-1 and the alkyl group (-CH3) which lies in the range of wavenumbers 2960-2850 cm-1 . - The detection and increase of these peaks in the spectra obtained by FTIR indicate the positive production of lactic acid. An increase in peak height is directly proportional to an increase in quantity. SPECTRAL ANALYSIS

CONCLUSION  The aim of this project was to isolate, characterize and do a comparative study of Lactobacillus sp. from various sources of milk products .  Characterization was done by using conventional Gram’s Staining and Biochemical Tests which have shown the presence of Lactobacillus to be positive.  After the Gram staining and Biochemical Tests to confirm the presence of our desired strains we processed our sample by using FTIR.The importance of this FTIR to characterize the organisms on genus and species level and determine the best strain, as it states the amount of similarities between the organisms.  Effect of various parameters like Absorbance ,pH, amount of free lactic acid formation and colony count gave the idea of best strain on comparing with reference ATCC 7469 strain.
