Abstract

We investigated the survival, $\beta$-galactosidase activity and cellular permeability of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356, Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei IFO 3533, Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC 2185, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis ATCC 4797, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ATCC 11842 in anaerobic condition of pH 1.5-3.5 range. Numbers of all tested viable cells did not decrease at pH 3.5, but decreased rapidly at pH 1.5 and pH 2.5 during 2 hour incubation at modified EG medium. Immediately after 2 hour incubation, the decrease in population at pH 1.5 and pH 2.5 was about 6-8 and 5-7 log cycles/ml, respectively. Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 showed the higest survival of all tested bacteria. The $\beta$-galactosidase activity from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ATCC 11842 and Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC 2185 decreased rapidly at pH 1.5 and 2.5, but there was a little decrease at pH 3.5. The cellular permeability that was measured by the leakage of intracellular materials increased with decrease of pH. These results suggest that the ingested lactic acid bacteria may be destroyed in contact with low pH of gastric acid.
