Abstract

The present work discusses the technological and new selection criteria that should
be included for selecting lactic acid bacteria for production of fermented meat. Lactic
acid bacteria isolated from Bulgarian traditional fermented “lulanka” salami was studied
regarding some positive technological parameters (growth at different temperature, pH, and
proteolytic activity). The presence of genes related to the virulence factors, production of
biogenic amines, and vancomycin resistance were presented in low frequency in the studied
lactic acid bacteria. On the other hand, production of antimicrobial peptides and high spread
of bacteriocin genes were broadly presented. Very strong activity against L. monocytogenes
was detected in some of the studied lactic acid bacteria. In addition, the studied strains did

not present any antimicrobial activity against tested closely related bacteria such as Lacto-
bacillus spp., Lactococcus spp., Enterococcus spp. or Pediococcus spp. To our knowledge this is

the first study on the safety and antimicrobial properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from
Bulgarian lukanka obtained by spontaneous fermentation.
