Abstract
Background: Dadih (fermented buffalo milk) is a traditional Indonesian food originating from West Sumatra province. The fermentation process is carried out by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are naturally present in buffalo milk. Lactic acid bacteria have been reported as one of potential producers of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA acts as a neurotransmitter inhibitor of the central nervous system. Methods: In this study, molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of GABA producing LAB isolated from indigenous dadih of West Sumatera were determined. Identification of the GABA-producing LAB DS15 was based on conventional polymerase chain reaction. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was used to identify LAB DS15. Results: PCR of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of LAB DS15 gave an approximately 1400 bp amplicon. Phylogenetic analysis showed that LAB DS15 was Pediococcus acidilactici, with high similarity of 99% at 100% query coverage to Pediococcus acidilactici strain DSM 20284. Conclusions: It can be concluded that GABA producing LAB isolated from indigenous dadih was Pediococcus acidilactici.
Highlights
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences have been used for successful identification of isolates from various fermented food products (Malik et al, 2015)
This research was conducted to identify and to characterize GABA producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from indigenous dadih of West Sumatera based on 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis

Summary
Riau University, Pekanbaru, Any reports and responses or comments on the article can be found at the end of the article. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences have been used for successful identification of isolates from various fermented food products (Malik et al, 2015). These molecular approaches have allowed Lactobacillus species to be reliably identified (Henry et al, 2015). This research was conducted to identify and to characterize GABA producing LAB isolated from indigenous dadih of West Sumatera based on 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis
