Isolation and identification of bacteria from commercial curd using gram staining
Author(s): Arti Pinal Patel
Abstract: The study aimed to isolate and identify bacteria present in commercially available curd samples using the Gram staining technique. Fresh curd samples were collected from three different local dairy shops. A small quantity of curd was diluted with sterile water and smeared on glass slides for Gram staining. Microscopic examination revealed the predominance of Gram-positive bacilli arranged singly or in chains, characteristic of Lactobacillus species, along with occasional Gram-positive cocci. These findings confirm that curd is a rich source of probiotic bacteria which play a beneficial role in human gut health. This simple microbiological approach highlights the significance of traditional fermented foods in promoting intestinal microflora.
