Lactic acid bacteria are commonly found in the fermented dairy products. Lactobacillus is a genus of
lactic acid bacteria and described as heterogeneous group of regular, non-spore forming, grampositive,
rod shaped, non-motile bacteria and absence of catalase enzyme. The aim of this study was to
isolate Lactobacillus from different curd samples. A total of 14 curd samples were collected from the
local areas of Gurgaon (Haryana) and Lakshmangarh (Rajasthan). From these, 28 isolates were
obtained by growing on de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) agar medium and characterised by their
phenotypic characteristics. The Lactobacillus isolates also possess homofermentative and
heterofermentative characteristics
