ABSTRACT
The Phenotypic identification results revealed that Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB
)isolates which is characterized by both Gram positive and catalase negative reactions
was observed in 51 % of cow raw milk bacterial isolates with 51% an overall ratio.The
higher results(58.5%.) of conventionallbacteriological analysis were observed in raw
milk bacterial isolates of cows lat first age group(≥3 - < 9 year) , There was
significantleffect ( p< 0.05)for the cows age on the raw milk bacterial
isolatesldistribution .The number of parturition affect significantly ( p< 0.05) on thelraw
milk bacterial isolates distribution and high ratio( 52%)of LAB isolateslwas observed in
cows with ≥6-<12 number oflparturition
Depending on genotypic identification results the high ratio (100%) of
positivelresults of 16S rDNA based PCR appeared in all of raw milk bacterial isolates
of cowslat second age group(≥9 - ˂15 year) , and the difference between the two
agelgroups stastically was not considered significant (P>0.05)..The number of
parturitionlhad اhigh significant effect (p< 0.001) on16S rDNA based PCR
positivelresults and high ratio(50%) of these results was observed inlcows with 1 - <

of 16S rDNA genes based PCR positive LAB revealed that higher ratio of PCR
positive results (60.9%) was observed in EntlB followed by Nis encoding

INTRODUCTION
Cow’s milk has been a staple diet ever since the medical community publicized its
nutritional benefits in the 1920s (1). The microflora of raw milk often contains lactic acid
bacteria (LAB) ( 2). Food safety is one of the major concerns in public health due to
outbreaks of food-borne diseases ( 3).LAB produce various antimicrobial compounds,
which can be classified as low molecular mass compounds such as hydrogen peroxide,
carbon dioxide, diacetyl, uncharacterized compounds, and high molecular mass
compounds like bacteriocins (4).
Most of LAB bacteriocins are small thermostable or large thermolabile proteins or
protein complexes that display antimicrobial properties against other bacteria often
closely related gram positive bacteria, whereas producer cells are immune to their own
bacteriocin(s) ( 5). During the last decade, a great number of LAB bacteriocins have been
identified and their potential application as biopreservatives in foods or food products has
been explored ( 6).
LAB displaying antimicrobial activities could be used as natural biopreservatives to
prevent or inhibit the growth of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria and fungi. LAB also
preserves the nutritive qualities of various foods ( 7). This century has been a major effect
in describing, cataloging, and characterizing the wide variety of antagonistic compounds
produced by LAB ( 8). The preservative effect of LAB is due to the production of one or
more active metabolites, such as bacteriocins (nisin, reuterin, reutericyclin, pediocin,
lacticin, enterocin and others) and bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances-BLIS ( 9)
Although bacteriocins, in a sense, can be considered as antibiotics, they differ from
conventional antibiotics in numerous aspects (10). Bacteriocins are inherently tolerant to
higher thermal stress and are more active at a wider pH range than conventional
antibiotics. Development of resistant strains among their target bacteria is unlikely as
they have fast-acting antimicrobial mechanisms that are highly potent even at very low
concentrations. Furthermore, their proteinaceous nature minimizes resistance
development as they are easily degraded by proteolytic enzymes, thus lessening the
chances of target strains developing any resistance machinery. ( 10).This study aimed to
identify the lacticgacid bacteria that compose the microbiota of raw cow milk and their

bacteriocinogenic potential.And determinekspecific genes related to their bacteriocins
production.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Samples collection and bacterial isolation
All studied samples were collected through period extended from November 2015 to
January 2016, including different animals farms in Basrah province .One hundred raw
cow’s milk samples were collected randomly from 100 healthy cows, All sample were
placed in to sterilized test tubes and transported on ice in cooler boxer to the laboratory
for subsequent analysis.One ml of milk transferred to 9 ml of MRS broth, Then 0.1 ml
was streaked on the surface of MRS agar. The MRS agar culture plates were incubated at
37 °C for 2 days under anaerobic condition ( 11).
Identification of LA
Phenotypic and genotypic identification of LAB from other bacteria. was done according to
the ( 11) .
Phenotypic identification
Phenotypic identification depend on Gram stain and catalase test
Genotypic identification
Genotypic identification was performed by PCR amplification of LAB16s rRNA
and bacteriocins encoding gens using specific primers(Table 1).The DNA of raw milk
bacterial isolates was extracted by using Wizard genomic DNA extraction and
purification kit(Qiagen)according to the manufacturer’sinstructions.
Amplificationlgenes encoded for LAB and its bacteriocin production andltheir
PCR prereaction mix were displayed in table (2).ThelPCR tubes were transferred to the
thermalcycler(Techne/UK) tostart thelamplification reaction according to
specificlprogram(Tables 3,4,5,6) for each gene (11).

The results of isolation of cow raw milk using MRS medium had showed that out of 100
bacteriallisolates. 51 isolates. were considered as LAB characterized by lGram , negative
positive catalase, and able to live in anaerobic condition., Abdelgadir et al., (16);
Savadog et al., (17)supported the present result by their identification of LAB isolates in
fermented cow and lamb milk and they observed that the most dominant bacteria were
thoselfrom genus Lactobacillus.
PCR identificationkof LAB and bacteriocinogenic activity of isolatesl
Many studies highlighted thelabsence of adequate selectivity in the employed culture
media, even forlLAB Carr et al., (18); Perin and Nero. (11)).Accordingly genomic
DNAs of isolateslwere isolated using the method offered by DNA extraction kit
manufacturerlinformation then isolated DNAs were visulized by agarose gel
electrophoresis underlUV light. Then they were taken to the PCR step, All 51 isolates of
cowsl that presented positive Gram and negative catalase reactivity waslsubjected to 16S
rRNA based PCR identification.Twenty three cows raw milk isolates were identified
aslLAB.Thelemployement of 16S rRNA (700bp) in the identification of raw milk
LABlisolates by PCR was in agreement with Perin and Nero (11); Klijn et al., (12)
who l observed that sequencing of the V1 region (90 bp) of the 16S rRNA genelwas
sufficient to provide a proper and reliable identification of the isolates, withlvariations
that allowed differentiation of their species andlsubspecies. However, sequencing of the
same region in Enterococcus spp. isolateslwas not enough to provide a reliable
identification at the species level, askobserved in previous studies (19-21);
All lcows raw milk isolates presented at least one of the tested bacteriocin encoding
genes ; nolisolates presented Ent A, Ent B and Nis genes simultaneously.This finding was
inlagreement with study of Perin and Nero(11) in which 30 Enterococcuslisolates
presented at least one of the tested lantibiotic genes and no isolateslpresented lanB, lanC
and lanM simultaneously. In the current study, presenselof one bacteriocin gene in
raw milk bacterial isolates was supported by previouslstudies which was reported that
antimicrobial potential of the isolates was not affectedlby, the presence of at least one of
the tested genes,as one gene wouldlbe sufficient for lantibiotic production (22,

23).Inconclusion, Phenotypic and genotypic identifications were effectively identified the
LAB and the Phenotyic identifications support the genotypic characterization results and
bacteriocinogenic properties of isolated bacteria were determined by PCR.
