Obiettivo - Isolation and characterisation of lactic acid bacteria and its contaminants in Ethiopian and Egyptian native products using classical methods and molecular biological methods;- Study of the biochemical and physiological properties of the lactic acid bacteria aimed especially at the progressive dairy technology;- Composition of the new strains for starter cultures of excellent properties regarding lactic acid bacteria of high bacteriophage resistance, acidification, taste and consistence of the product;- Development of new sorts of cheeses of high product quality as a contribution for the nourishment of a growing population.Expected Outcome- Product improvement and modification of African cheeses developed using African lactic acid bacteria with the exception of their "own", i.e. a new Ayib cheese;- Strains of lactic acid bacteria as an alternative to genetic engineering by obtaining strains with desirable properties of taste and flavour, phage resistance and salt tolerance;- Appropriate stabile strains with salt tolerance especially for a new Domiati cheese;- Knowledge about the phage-host relations of lactic acid bacteria.- Investigations of lactic acid bacteria (lactococci, lactobacilli) in relation to their properties for starter cultures;- Characterisation of the new strains in the phylogenic system using classical (i.e. api system biomérieux) and molecular biological methods (SDS, IEF-gel electrophoresis, 16rRNA);- Biochemical and physiological characterisation of the new strains lactose metabolism, lactose uptake rate of acid production, autolysis, proteolytic activity, salt tolerance, bacteriocines, antibiotic resistance and antibiotic activities;- Investigation of phage-host relations with regard to the phage resistance;- Development of appropriate starter cultures for cheese-making using the new strains;- Investigation of the association with undesired microbes, i.e. pathogenic microbes and their antibiotic resistance.
