Abstract:
Background:Research on lactic acid bacteria has confirmed how specific strains possess probiotic properties and impart
unique sensory characteristics to food products. The use of probiotic lactic acid bacteria in many food products, thus con
fers various health benefits to humans when they are frequently consumed in adequate amounts.
Aim:To determine the effect of lactic acid bacteria on the growth of tomatoes.
Materials and Methods:The lactic acid bacteria were cultured using the Lactobacillus medium from whipping cream
and Dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum) and identified using the MALDI-TOF MS automated microbial identification
analyzer. A solution was prepared using Lactobacillus delbrueckii isolated from whipping cream and Lactobacillus gas
seri isolated from Dandelion (10^7CFU/ml), and sterilized tomato seeds were watered for 10 days with the solution, while
sterilized distilled water was used as a control. The germination rate of the seeds and the root length were measured and
recorded every day.
Results: The solution of L.delbrueckii bacteria isolated from cream germinated 100% of the seeds, which is 4% higher
than the control seeds, while the solution of L.gasseri bacteria isolated from Dandelion germinated 100%, supporting 4%
higher than the control seeds. Seedlings irrigated with the L.delbrueckii bacterial solution exhibited an average length of
10.3cm, which was 1.3cm longer than the control (P=0.003), indicating a statistically significant difference. Similarly,
those treated with the L.gasseri solution had an average length of 11.5cm, 2.5cm longer than the control (P=0.005), also
demonstrating statistical significance.
Conclusion:The application of the lactic acid bacterial solution significantly enhanced both the germination of tomato
seeds and the growth of the plants compared to the control solution.
