Abstract:

A lactic acid bacterial strain L1 was isolated from spontaneously fermented sweet potato slurry and identified as Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei. Its optimal conditions for flocculating activity were 6.5-8.5 for pH and 25-35 ℃ for temperature. Glucose, sucrose, maltose and lactose were excellent carbon sources and the optimal nitrogen source was yeast extract or beef extract. The bioflocculant produced by strain L1 was mainly adhered to the interface of cells.

Key words: Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei, flocculating activity, starch, biolflocculant
