Abstract:

The objective of this study was to isolate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with high ability to produce conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA) from traditional cream products in Xilingol League of Inner Mongolia. CLA content in fermented
broth was determined by UV-spectrophotometry, and the strains with the highest CLA-producing ability were identified by
analyzing their colony characteristics, cell morphology, biochemical and physiological characteristics, and the phylogenetic
tree generated with MEGA 6 software based on 16S rDNA sequence. Twenty CLA-producing strains were isolated from
traditional cream products, 11 strains of which were present in samples collected from Xianghuang Banner and the remaining
9 strains were found in samples collected from Zhengxianglan Banner. HS4 with the highest CLA-producing capacity among
the strains isolated from cream samples collected from Xianghuang Banner was identified as Lactobacillus casei, producing
23.586 μg/mL CLA with a conversion efficiency of 7.86% when it was cultured at an inoculum size of 2% in the presence
of 0.06% linoleic acid; among the strains isolated from cream samples collected from Zhengxianglan Banner, LX5 with the
highest CLA-producing capacity was identified as Lactobacillus paracasei, producing 20.508 μg/mL CLA with a conversion
efficiency of 6.84% under the same culture conditions as described for HS4.
