| Abstract |
The present study aimed to isolate and identify the potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditionally fermented wheat flour dough known as "babroo." A total of 26 lactic isolates were obtained from 50 different samples collected from different locations of the Himalayan province (Himachal Pradesh). To ascertain non-pathogenic nature, the isolates were screened by hemolytic activity leading to 20 non-hemolytic strains which were subjected to tolerance to simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Seven different strains were selected based on their tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions. All the selected seven isolates were found to be susceptible to ampicillin and resistant to gentamicin. The phylogenetic analysis revealed three different strains of Lactobacillus fermentum, two strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, and two of Pediococcus acidilactici. The isolates exhibit different degrees of cell surface hydrophobicity (20.0-42.0%), cellular autoaggregation (5.0-41.0%), and adhesion to mucin (35.0-78.0%). The different lactic strains also possessed higher antioxidant properties (87.6-92.9%) determined in terms of free radical scavenging activity, bile salt hydrolase activity, cholesterol lowering activity (49.0-75.0%), and exopolysaccharide production. The principal component analysis (PCA) on probiotic attributes indicated that L. plantarum K90, L. fermentum K75, and L. fermentum K78 can be used as potential probiotic candidates. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 September 2018.
All research outputs
#15,545,423
of 23,103,436 outputs
Outputs from Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins
#238
of 548 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#213,511
of 337,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins
#7
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,436 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 548 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 337,900 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
