The aim of the present study was to access probiotic attributes such as antimicrobial activity, acid and bile tolerance, auto aggregation capacity, hydrophobicity assay and antibiotic susceptibility of two screened potential lactic acid bacterial strains from a novel traditional fermented product (viz. Luske, prepared using fermented lassi) Solan District of Himachal Pradesh. Six isolates were isolated from the traditional fermented foods of a Trans Himalayan state of India and were subjected to biochemical characterization. Preliminary screening demonstrated variable inhibitory activity against various food borne pathogens and among them L1 and L2 were found to have broad spectrum antagonism. The genomic level identification had been performed and screened cultures of lactic acid bacteria from luske was identified as Pediococcus acidilactici L1 with accession number |KM251713| and Lactobacillus plantarum L2 with accession number |KM251714|. The results showed that the isolates were able to tolerate acidity upto 90 min as low pH as 2 and bile salt of 2%. The percentage of auto aggregation and hydrophobicity of the strains ranged from 48.4% and 90 %. As the two isolates were sensitive to most of the tested antibiotics, these data suggest that such isolates can be considered potential candidates for probiotic use in functional food formulations.
