Glutamic acid and folic acid production in aerobic and anaerobic probiotics
Introduction:From an industrial application or commercial point of view, glutamic acid is one of the most important amino acids and its microbial production has been reported from some bacteria. Regarding the role of probiotics to modulate human health and the ever-increasing demand of prebiotics in...

Regarding the role of probiotics to modulate human health and the ever-increasing demand of prebiotics in the food industry, in the current study, production of glutamic acid and folic acid from three probiotic bacteria (Bifidobacterium, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Sporolactobacillus) was evaluated for the first time.

The glutamic acid was identified using thin-layer chromatography and folic acid production was measured by folate kit.

Discussion and conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of microbial production of glutamic acid and folate from the probiotic bacteria. These beneficial bacteria can be used as a good source for mass production of these valuable compounds.http://bjm.ui.ac.ir/article_21748_beec67025fadbc3c660f9f0d154312d4.pdfBifidobacteriaBifidobacterium bifidumSporolactobacillusAmino acidHigh Pressure Liquid ChromatographyThin Layer Chromatography |
