Abstract
Dadiah is a traditional dairy food from West Sumatra. Dadiah is made by fermenting fresh buffalo milk in banana leaves covered
bamboo sticks at room temperature for two days. Dadiah is nutritious because it contains lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that have
probiotic properties. This study aims to determine the characteristics and biochemical properties of LAB by catalase assay and
fermentation type. We identified the LAB found in dadiah using conventional laboratory tests and 16S rRNA sequencing methods
and confirmed that the LAB was Lactobacillus fermentum. Gram staining showed that the isolated bacteria were Gram-positive
bacilli and the catalase assay and fermentation type showed it to be negative catalase and homofermentative.
Keywords: lactic acid bacteria, Dadiah, lactobacillus fermentum, probiotic.
Practical Application: Dadiah, is one of the traditional probiotic dairy foods in West Sumatra that is rich in LAB.
