IDENTIFICATION OF LACTOBACILLUS STRAINS FROM TURKISH-STYLE DRY FERMENTED SAUSAGES

1995-01-01
A total of 31 strains of facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from different Turkish dry sausage (soudjouk) samples. They were determined as belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and subjected to a taxonomic study. The strains were divided into seven groups based on sugar fermentation pattern and other physiological and morphological characteristics. A variety of biochemical and genetic characteristics were also examined for species differentation of these isolates. They were identified as Lactobacillus sake, L. curvatus, L. alimentarius, L. plantarum, and L. brevis. Strains of L. sake were distinguished from L. curvatus by DNA-DNA hybridization studies. Atypical Lactobacillus strains and coccus-shaped organisms responsible Sor fermentation processes were not found in the samples rested. Every soudjouk sample showed differences in the most predominant Lactobacillus species.

Identification of serotype specific dna marker for salmonella typhimurium by rapd-pcr method
Aksoy, Ceren; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
This study was performed for the identification of specific DNA marker using RAPD-PCR (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) method for serotype Salmonella Typhimurium which is one of the most prevalent serotype causing food poisining all over the world. The Primer 3 (RAPD 9.1), 5̕-CGT GCA CGC-3ء, was used in RAPD-PCR with 35 different Salmonella isolates. 12 of them were serotype Salmonella Typhimurium and 23 of them were belonging to other six different serotypes. Accordingly, two different 300 bp and 700 bp ...
Identification and killer activity of a yeast contaminating starter cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used in the Turkish baking industry
Izgu, F; Altinbay, D; Yucelis, A (Elsevier BV, 1997-04-01)
The yeast contaminating the starter cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation strains BSP 1-4, used in the Turkish baking industry, was identified as Candida tropicalis with a killer phenotype. The activity of the killer toxin against the industrial strains was optimum at pH 3.9 and 4.1 at 22-25 degrees C. The activities of some killer toxin-producing yeasts of known phenotypes against C. tropicalis were determined. Among the yeasts tested S. cerevisiae K3 and Hansenula anamola K8 were inhibitory to...
Determination of esterase enzyme polymorphism in house fly (Musca domestica L.) populations in Turkey
TAŞKIN, VATAN; Taskin, Belgin Gocmen; KÜÇÜKAKYÜZ, KÖKSAL; Kence, Meral (2011-01-01)
The objective of this study was to determine esterase enzyme polymorphism in 16 natural Musca domestica L. populations from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions of Turkey by using the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique. The high level of genetic variation among populations and species make esterase enzymes an important tool for analyzing genetic differentiation and evolutionary relationships in insects. In the present study, 22 a-esterase bands were detected by using a-naphthylacetat...
Identification of differentially expressed transcripts from leaves of the boron tolerant plant Gypsophila perfoliata L.
Unver, Turgay; Bozkurt, Osman; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-08-01)
Very recently some of the species of Gypsophila genus collected from the boron rich soils in Turkey were shown to be remarkably tolerant to high levels of boron. A limited amount of boron is necessary for the normal development of plants; however, a high level of boron in soil is generally toxic. Nevertheless, the adaptability of plant species allows them to withstand the presence of extreme amounts of metal ion by various strategies. This study is conducted on highly boron tolerant Gypsophila perfoliata L....
Characterization and purification of a bacteriocin produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris
Dündar, Halil; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Department of Biotechnology (2006)
In this study, a new bacteriocin isolated from a Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris strain was purified to homogeneity by pH mediated cell adsorption-desorption, solid phase extraction with Amberlite XAD-16, cation-exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The purification resulted in an electrophoretically pure protein that was smaller than 6 kDa as judged by SDS-PAGE. The bacteriocin was found to be very hydrophobic and cationic and could be adsorbed by synthetic calcium s...
