Casein degradation and amino acid liberation in milk by two highly proteolytic strains of lactic acid bacteria.
Amongst 100 isolates of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus feacalis proved to be highly proteolytic as demonstrated by starch gel electrophoresis and liberation of various amino acids. Both these organisms hydrolysed casein differently to produce different concentrations of amino acids.
