Abstract
The biological properties of three strains of L. helvetcus were studied. All studied strains metabolize D-galactose. The L. helveticus AB strain utilizes D-glucose, D-fructose, N-acetylglucosamine, and D-trehalose; L. helveticus 20T — D-mannose, N-acetylglucosamine; L. helveticus H-9 — D-glucose, D-lactose, D-trehalose. All strains showed high β-galactosidase activity, as well as the activity of acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI hydrolase, leucine arylamidase, and cystine arylamidase. For L. helveticus 20T and L. helveticus AB strains, valine arylamidase activity was found. All strains are sensitive to gentamicin, ampicillin, tetracycline, azithromycin, lincomycin, chloramphenicol. The data obtained indicate the safety of using strains as part of starter cultures and as producers of metabolite additives in terms of reducing the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance.
