Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The most widely used probiotics that benefit human and animal health are lactic acid bacteria (LAB) derived from milk and dairy products. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the probiotic properties of LAB strains isolated from Kazakhstan mare's milk and koumiss (fermented mare’s milk) samples. A total of 24 LAB strains were isolated to test their probiotic properties. Based on analysis of probiotic properties, the strains 3K, 7K, 9K, 10K and 11K were identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. According to PCR analysis, three strains (3K, 7K, 9K) were assigned to the species Limosilactobacillus fermentum and the remaining two strains (10K and 11K) were assigned to the species Lacticaseibacillus paracasei. In summary, the high biological potential of the strain Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 10K was identified as having probiotic property, which suggests its possible use as a promising candidate.
