Lactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria mainly found in fermented dairy products. This study was carried out for the identification and characterization of Lactobacillus isolated from curd. A total of 14 curd samples were collected from different places of Gurgaon (Haryana) and Lakshmangarh (Rajasthan). Their identification was carried out based on their morphological and biochemical characteristics. A total of 28 isolates were screened on the basis of their phenotypic characteristics. Lactobacillus showed cream-white colonies, rod-shaped, gram-positive, non-spore forming, non-motile, and catalase negative bacteria. Some of the Lactobacillus species are also showing the characteristics of homofermentative or heterofermentative categories. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol7no2/isolation-and-identification-of-genus-lactobacillus-from-different-curd-samples/ F-Fermentation: H-Homofermentation (production of lactic acid but not gas)
