Abstract:

Two exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacterial isolates (strains I and II) isolated from viili were identified by 16S rDNA sequence alignment and biochemical and physiological identification with API 50 CHL kits and their EPS-producing abilities were studied. Strains Ⅰand Ⅱ were identified as Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, and the EPS yields in skimmed milk fermented by them were 111.7 and 106.5 mg/L, respectively.

Key words: viili, exopolysaccharide, lactic acid bacteria, 16S rDNA
