Antifungal human gut lactobacilli with potential probiotic properties is a promising and adaptable approach in gut health balance. Antifungal property of lactobacilli can be favourable in case of mycotic human gut infections like oesophageal candidiasis, ulcers, mycotoxicosis etc. In vitro probiotic characteristics of human gut lactobacilli with antifungal activity against Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) producing Aspergillus flavus Microbial Type Culture Collection and Gene Bank (MTCC) 2798 was evaluated. Ten lactobacilli isolates from human faecal samples were isolated. The antifungal property of the lactobacilli against Aspergillus flavus MTCC 2798 were studied by agar overlay method. The isolates identified L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8 as Limoslactobacillus fermentum, L9 as Lactiplantibacillus planta.. View More»
