| Abstract: | Lactic acid bacteria isolated from food sources can be introduced as probiotics because of their health‐promoting and nonpathogenic characteristics. Eight lactic acid bacteria from idli batter fermented with Piper betle leaves were selected to screen the antioxidant potential and biofilm‐forming ability. Five isolates exhibited good antioxidant potential and biofilm formation and showed antagonistic activity against the pathogenic biofilm‐forming Staphylococcus aureus. Further, in vitro probiotic properties of five isolates exhibited excellent acid tolerance, bile tolerance, simulated gastrointestinal juice tolerance, auto‐aggregation and co‐aggregation and hydrophobicity and showed resistance to antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, norfloxacin and colistin. Isolates also showed positive bile salt hydrolase activity, cholesterol assimilation, β‐galactosidase production and mucin binding ability. The isolate KJBB10 exhibited good adhesion and pathogen exclusion percentage with human colon cancer cells (HCT‐15 and HT‐29). Hence, the isolates KJBB10, KJBB56 and KJBC06 can be used as beneficial probiotic starter cultures for the formulation of functional foods. |
