AB  - Artisanal white pickled cheese of Western Serbia is a product of complex microbial community which detection by culture-dependent method only is hampered by its limitations. Thus, in the present study, we used a culture-independent, semi-quantitative technique based on construction of an internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-clone library from metagenomic DNA. This approach, based on direct DNA extraction followed by amplification of fungal internal transcribed regions (ITS) cloned into plasmid and restricted by endonucleases, revealed greater species richness in analysed cheeses and their by-products (17 species in total) compared to the more commonly used techniques of the culture-dependent method (8 species) and LSU-DGGE (10 species). The most frequently occurring yeast species which are commonly associated with cheeses production were Debaryomyces hansenii, Kluyveromyces lactis and Candida zeylanoides. On the other hand, Yarrowia lipolytica and Galactomyces geotrichum were detected only in one cheese sample. Moreover, some species, mainly moulds (Filobasidium globisporum, Cladosporium sp., Aspergillus sp. or Alternaria sp.) were identified only by culture-independent methods. The discrepancies between the techniques were confirmed by low correlation factor and by different indices of general biodiversity and dominance of species. The ITS-clone library approach provides the opportunity to analyse complex fungal communities associated with food products.

AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro probiotic potential of dairy yeast isolates from artisanal cheeses manufactured in Serbia and Croatia.  
Methods. Twelve yeast strains isolated in from artisanal fresh soft and white brined cheeses manufactured in Serbia and Croatia were used in the study. Survival in chemically-simulated gastrointestinal conditions, adherence to epithelial intestinal cells and proliferation of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) cells were evaluated.
Results. The results revealed that two strains of Kluyvereomyces lactis ZIM 2408 and ZIM 2453 grew above one log unit ( and #916; log CFU/ml) in the complex colonic medium during 24 h of cultivation, while Torulaspora delbrueckii ZIM 2460 was the most resistant isolate in chemically-simulated conditions of gastric juice and upper intestinal tract. It was demonstrated that the strains Kluyvereomyces lactis ZIM 2408 and ZIM2441 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ZIM 2415 were highly adhesive to Caco-2 cells, while strains Kluyvereomyces lactis ZIM 2408 and Debaryomyces hansenii ZIM 2415 exhibit the highest adhesion percentage to HT29-MTX cells. All strains significantly (p lt 0.0001) decreased the proliferation of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) cells suggesting the possible strain-specific immunomodulatory potential of the isolates. 
Conclusion. The dairy yeast isolates exhibit the strain-specific probiotic properties. Particularly, the strain K. lactis ZIM 2408 appears to be the best probiotic candidate in terms of all three criteria. Taking into account their immunomodulatory potential, the yeast isolates could be further tested for specific probiotic applications and eventually included in functional food formulated for patients suffering from diseases associated with an increased inflammatory status.

AB  - The aim of this study is to gain insight into the probiotic potential of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from artisanal fresh soft and white pickled cheeses. Eleven out of 86 LAB isolates from traditionally produced artisanal fresh soft and white pickled cheeses which survived the most rigorous simulated gastrointestinal tract conditions and did not show resistance to antibiotics were subjected to further evaluation for functional probiotic properties. The ability of the examined strains to assimilate cholesterol in the presence of bile salts was strain dependent, with the highest percentage of cholesterol assimilated by strain Lactobacillus brevis BGGO7-28 possessing S-layer proteins on its cell surface. The growth of strains with mannitol or lactulose as the only carbon source was better than with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin as prebiotic substrates, which should be considered in the production of synbiotics. Moreover, the results demonstrated that the strains were highly adhesive to human enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells and to a lesser extent to HT29-MTX cells, with the exception of strain Lb. brevis BGGO7-28, which showed similar percentage of adhesion to both cell lines. This strain was the only one with the acidic cell surface, while other examined strains have the cell surfaces with electron donor and basic properties. In addition, all selected strains decreased the proliferation of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) cells, suggesting possible immunomodulatory potential of the isolates. Finally, the number of viable cells in dry active preparations after lyophilisation depended on the lyoprotectant used (inulin, FOS or skimmed milk), as well as on the strain subjected to lyophilisation. In conclusion, the results obtained in this study demonstrate that particular dairy LAB isolates exhibit strain-specific probiotic properties. Thus, they could be further examined as part of mixed autochthonous starter cultures for traditional cheese production under controlled conditions.
