In Vitro Assessment of Probiotic Potential of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae DABRP5 Isolated from Bollo Batter, a Traditional Goan Fermented Food

Bollo is a traditional Goan fermented food in which coarse wheat/wheat and finger millet is leavened with toddy. We here isolated 42 yeast strains from Bollo batter. Initial screening of the isolates with probiotic properties yielded four yeast isolates (DABRP1, DABRP2, DABRP5 and DABRP12). These isolates exhibited tolerance to high bile salt concentration and acidic pH and resistance to various antibiotics, which indicated their probiotic...
