Abstract

Probiotics are living microorganisms that have an important role in prevention and treatment of diseases. The aim of this study was isolate yeast with probiotic properties due to the importance of probiotic yeasts. Sampling was performed from different parts of human skin. Growth ability of isolated yeast at concentrations of 0.3, 0.5 and 1% oxgall, 2, 4 and 6% NaCl, pHs of 2, 4, 5.8, 9 and 11 and temperature 37, 40 and 42°C were investigated. The activity of amylase, protease, pectinase, cellulase, lipase, urease, catalase, citratase and hemolysin was investigated. The yeast was able to grow in 0.3% oxgall, concentrations of 2, 4 and 6% NaCl, pHs of 2, 4, 5.8, 9 and 11 and also at a temperature of 37°C. The isolated yeast has the primary properties of probiotics and can be used in future studies.
