Abstract

Bacteria have always been the most abundant living creatures on earth which may be either helpful to humans in the form of single cell proteins, probiotics, natural gut flora or many a times be harmful and cause several infections becoming fatal. Application of these bacteria and their natural process for the development and well being of humans is the major focus of several researchers. Importance of probiotic bacteria has long been known to the mankind and has been the study subject. The current work involves isolation and identification of different bacteria from selected probiotic food. Since curd is the most natural and probiotic rich food consumed most commonly it has been selected for the study. This study included selective study of microbes in commercial and home made curd. The focus is to summarize the common microbes in both commercial and home made curd and to identify if any special organisms are included in the commercial curd. The bacterial identification after isolation is mainly based on molecular techniques like sequencing and BLAST assay for high end accuracy.
