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

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the dominant and advantageous microorganisms of raw and fermented camel milk; these bacteria have the potential to develop functional camel-milk-derived products and can be used in dairy technology. This article presents data on the diversity of LAB, isolated from raw and fermented camel milk. In total, from two samples of raw camel milk and one sample of fermented camel milk, seventeen isolates of LAB were isolated. The data of genetic identification of strains, which was performed through analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, is presented. According to this data, the prevailing number of LAB belong to the Lactobacillus genus – 53%. Following species of Lactobacillus bacteria were determined – fermentum, casei, curizae, oryzae, brevis, plantarum, rhamnosus, paracasei. The next prevailing number of lactic acid bacteria belong to the Pediococcus genus – 23%, represented by acidilactici and pentosaceus species. Lactic acid bacteria of Weissella and Enterococcus genera comprised 12% each from total abundance. These results can be used for a further selection of potential starter cultures for functional camel-milk-derived products.
