Popis: A total of 57 predominant LAB strains isolated from cassava and maize grains fermentation processes for fufu and ogi were identified using phenotypic and genomic fingerprinting methods such as rep-PCR and ARDRA. They were divided into facultatively heterofermentative rods (26.3%), obligately heterofermentative rods (31.6%), and tetrad forming homofermentative cocci (42.1%). Selected strains were further identified by sequencing the 16S rDNA gene. Technological studies such as acidification, hydrogen peroxide production, starch hydrolysis, enzymatic activities, degradation of oligosaccharides, and in vitro adherence properties were carried out. Lactobacillus plantarum strains demonstrated better and rapid acid production capability, followed by the Pediococcus strains, while L. fermentum strains exhibited slower acid production. Hydrogen peroxide production was observed among the LAB groups. The test strains utilized the indigestible sugars raffinose and stachyose. Only L. pentosus demonstrated high amylas...
