New probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri

Study of new probiotic strains is promising in view of the increase of production volumes of the products with probiotic properties and development of the functional products. One of such strains is considered to be the strain Lactobacillus reuteri that is widely applied as a probiotic in foods manufactured abroad. The lactobacillus strain was isolated and identified. After investigation of the biochemical properties using the system API 50CH the strain was referred to L. fermentum that according to the information published is supposed to be close to L. reuteri. Molecular-genetic expertise of the isolated strain allowed to clear identify the strain as Lactobacillus reuteri.
