Abbreviated running title: lactic acid bacteria of ben-saalga<br />

Abstract<br />

The current work was performed in the frame<br />

of a wide study with the aim to assess the<br />

microbial diversity of pearl millet fermented<br />

pastes contributing to the ben-saalga stability<br />

and safety. The samples have been taken<br />

from twelve traditional small-producing units<br />

of ben-saalga. The isolated strains were<br />

tested according to their phenotypic<br />

characteristics (morphology, Gram reaction,<br />

catalase activity, biochemical profiles by API<br />

50 CHL strips and metabolic type by HPLC).<br />

The numeration of lactic acid bacteria (LAB)<br />

from the pastes highlighted that LABs are the<br />

dominant microorganisms of the ben-saalga<br />

microbiota. LAB counts in the pastes vary<br />

from 7.5 to 8.5 log CFU/g dry weight.<br />

Isolated strains of LAB (presumptively)<br />

represented 92% of the microbial community.<br />

Results of metabolic type of LABs based on<br />

HPLC determinations revealed that 58% were<br />

homofermentative and based on<br />

morphological observation 80% were<br />

lactobacilli. In addition, 57 and 69% of LABs<br />

can ferment melibiose and raffinose (αgalactoside)<br />

respectively, and 100, 100, 72<br />

and 57% fermented glucose and fructose,<br />

maltose, sucrose, respectively. Only one<br />

strain fermented starch. The<br />

heterofermentative Lactobacillus fermentumlike<br />

(i.e. Lb fermentum and Lb cellobiosus)<br />

are the most represented lactic acid bacteria<br />
