In Vitro Evaluation of Probiotic Potential and Safety Assessment of Lactobacillus mucosae Strains Isolated from Donkey’s Lactation

The study, for the first time, reports the efficacy, safety and probiotic properties of two Lactobacillus mucosae strains, Lact. mucosae SRV5 and Lact. mucosae SRV10 isolated from donkey milk. All major in vitro screening assays were employed to evaluate studied strains. Both strains displayed good survivability at gastric pH 2.0, 0.3% bile and simulated oro-gastrointestinal fluid (above 88%). Also, cultures demonstrated good cell surface...
