The diversity of indigenous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in fermented broccoli, cherry, ginger, white radish and white fleshed pitaya juices were analyzed using culture independent and dependent approaches. The major properties of selected probiotic strains using broccoli as the fermented substrate, including dynamic variations in pH, viability counts, antibiotic resistance, bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbons and survivability during simulated gastrointestinal transit were investigated. Within broccoli and ginger juices, Lactobacillus occupied the dominant position (abundances of 79.0% and 30.3% respectively); within cherry and radish, Weissella occupied the dominant position (78.3% and 83.2% respectively); and within pitaya, Streptococcus and Lactococcus occupied the dominant position (52.2% and 37.0% respectively) Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Weissella. cibaria/ soli/confusa, Enterococcus gallinarum/durans/hirae, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Bacillus coagulans and Lactococcus garvieae/ lactis sub sp., cremoris were identified by partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Overall, the selected autochthonous LAB isolates showed no significant differences compared to commercial strains with regards to growth rates or acidification in fermented broccoli juice; meanwhile, among all isolates of L. mesenteroides B4-25 showed the highest antibiotic resistant profile equal to that of L. plantarum CICC20265 and suitable adhesion properties, demonstrating binding of 13.4±5.2%~36.4±3.2% and 21.6±1.4%~69.6±2.3% to ethyl acetate and xylene, respectively. Furthermore, P. pentosaceus Ca-4 and L. mesenteroides B-25 featured the highest survival rates after simulated gastro intestinal transit of 22.4±2.6% and 21.2±1.4% respectively. These results indicated a high level of diversity in the autochthonous bacterial community in fermented fruit and vegetable juices (FVJs) and demonstrated the potential of these probiotic candidates for applications in fermentation.
