Probiotic potentials of yeasts isolated from some cereal-based Nigerian traditional fermented food products

To determine the starter culture and multifunctional potentials of yeast strains from some cereal-based Nigerian traditional fermented food products.Yeast isolates were screened for enzyme production and identified by sequencing the D1/D2 region of 26S rDNA. Pichia kluyveri LKC17, Issatchenkia orientalis OSL11, Pichia kudriavzevii OG32, Pichia kudriavzevii ROM11 and Candida tropicalis BOM21 exhibited the highest protease, lipase and phytase...
