Cereal-based porridges are among fermented foods with a composite microbiota. The objective of this work is to characterize the microbiota of porridge. Samples of porridge were collected in Ouagadougou and analyzed ac
cording to standard methods in microbiology. The presumed strains obtained were characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Technological abilities were estimated by tests for resistance to acid pH, bile, antibiotics and antimicrobial, proteolytic and lipolytic activities. All presumptive Bacillus, lactic acid bacteria and yeast were characterized by PCR. Four (BC1a; BC9b; BC2a and BC1b) strains were confirmed to Bacillus by PCR, 6 strains to Lactobacillus and only to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. All strains were sensitive to two antibiotics gentamycin and imipenem. In contrast, all strains were resistant to oxacillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, streptomycin, penicillin and ticarcillin. Strains tested were resistant to bile but in terms of pH this resistance was relative. Potential probiotic strains have been shown to be effective in inhibiting pathogens. Proteolytic and lipolytic activities were positive on all strains. The characterization of strains, although concerned with a non-exhaustive list of primers, has made it possible to confirm the strains that may be of good quality probiotics if a quantitative study is carried out on technological aptitudes.
In West Africa, cereals are the most used for the preparation of many pastas, drinks, fermented porridges [1] [2] . Porridge is very important especially in the diet of children of weaning age, although many studies confirm their inability to provide energy and micronutrient satisfaction [3] [4] . Proportions of improvement in the quality of porridge have been proposed through formulations based on combination with various ingredients [5] and germination or malting techniques, but the results are unsatisfactory [6] [7] .
Fermentation is a means by which the digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients [8] and consequently the nutritional value can be improved through the microbiological approach [1] - [9] . However, the porridges are filled with a composite microbiota consisting of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and Bacillus intervening upstream in fermentative processes whose profile deserves to be known [10] . Thus, research is now focused on the research of strains with technological skills, namely probiotic and amylolytic virtues.
The characterization of probiotics in fermented foods has been the subject of several studies, mainly aimed at identifying technological skills [11] [12] . This is the case, for example, of lactic acid bacteria isolated from starchy and fermented foods or drinks in West Africa in 2009, thus highlighting their current use [10] . The same is true for fermented milk [12] . The objective of this work is to characterize, by the method of molecular biology, the microbiota of technological interest of fermented porridges based on cereals.
2. Materials and Methods2.1. Isolation and Conservation
The lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the porridge according to [13] modified after seeding on the agar-MRS medium. As for the yeasts, they were isolated on Sabouraud medium (SAB) according to [14] . In addition, Bacillus was isolated on Plate Count Agar (PCA) agar after thermal shock on the porridge. All strains presumed to be Bacillus positive to lactic acid bacteria and yeasts were subcultured respectively on PCA, Man, Rogosa, Sharpe (MRS), Sabouraud added chloramphenicol Agar and incubated at 37˚C for 24 hours. All positive cultures of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and Bacillus after successive transplanting were selected. Pure isolated were stored at −20˚C in MSR broth for lactic acid bacteria and 20% - 30% glycerol-infused brain heart infusion broth for Bacillus and yeast.
2.2. Molecular Characterization
DNA Extraction
Presumed strains of Bacillus, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts were subcultured onto specific media for Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction. The extraction of DNA from the strains was carried out by thermolysis using the method used by [15] modified. Samples were taken aseptically from two or three 24-hour incubation colonies and added to an Eppendorf tube (Hamburg, Germany) containing 300 μl of PCR water or sterile distilled water. The whole was thoroughly homogenized by the same pipette until completely dissolved. All the tubes were placed in a boiling water bath at 100˚C for 10 minutes followed by a freeze storage for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of freezing, the tubes containing the bacterial inoculum were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 minutes. The supernatant of each tube was recovered in the order of 200 μl and stored at −20˚C until it was used for PCR reaction. The primers, sequences used and expected sizes are as follows: Lactobacillus sp (LbF-GGAATCTTCCACAATGGACG, LbR-CGCTTTACGCCCAATAAATCCGG: 230 pb) [16] ; Candida krusei (CkFKSfor359-CATTGGCCGTTTCCATTGTGTTC, CkFKSrev359-CATCAAACCAAGCGTGATTCTTGC; 359pb) [17] ; Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC-5fw-AGGAGTGCGGTTCTTTCTAAAG, SC-3bw-TGAAATGCGAGATTCCCCCA; 215pb) [18] ; Bacillus sp (B-K1/5F-TCACCAAGGCRACGATGCG, B-K1/5F-TCACCAAGGCRACGATGCG; 1000 - 1200 pb) [19] .
Preparation of the Reaction Mixture
The reaction mixture was prepared with a total volume of 20 μL per reaction. It is composed of Mater mix (One Taq® quick-laod®) (5X), Primer F (10 μM), Primer R (10 μM), H2O PCR (nulease-free water), DNA (50 ng mL -1) with respective volumes of 4 μL, 0.5 μL, 0.5 μL, 12.5 μL and 2.5 μL.

Borate) at a concentration of 1X and heated until dissolved. After cooling the mixture to 40˚C, a few drops of BET (Ethidium bromide) were added and then homogenized. The gel thus formed was poured into a tank containing a comb for producing the wells. The amplicons were deposited in the wells made on the agarose gel. The migration was carried out with an electrophoresis (Midi Horizontal Electrophoresis) tank containing 1X TBE for 60 min at a voltage of 100 mV with a current of 100 mA.
Revelation and Interpretation of the Bands
After the migration, the revelation of the DNA profiles was made on a Transilluninator electrophoresis gel reader coupled with a dark chamber of a digital camera. After the revelation the tapes were interpreted with positive control.
2.3. Probiotic Properties
Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance was assessed and interpreted according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) [20] . Strains were inoculated on Muller-Hinton agar plates. 11 different antimicrobial agents were tested: amoxicillin (AMX), gentamicin (GEN), imipenem (IMI), oxacillin (Ox), ampicillin (AM), erythromycin (E), penicillin (P), streptomycin (STR), kanamycin (K) ticarcillin (TIC), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (CMA).
Growth at Acid pH
The pH survival test was performed according to the method of [21] using methyl red as a colored indicator. The pH of different tubes was adjusted to 2.5; 4.5 and 7.2. The cultures were incubated at 30˚C during 24 H for lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, 37˚C during 24 H for Bacillus. The bend of the colored indicator reflects growth.
Growth at Bile Salts
The different strains were inoculated on a liquid medium specific for the growth of isolated strains containing 0.3% of “Oxagall” bile, which represents the concentration proposed by [22] . To do this, about 3g of “Oxagall” bile was introduced into 100 mL of growth-specific broth of each strain. A few drops of methyl red were added to each tube giving the red color to the contents. Strains were seeded in specific broths. A control was made by sowing each strain on the same broth without addition of bile. After incubation the growth of the strains was noted by the discoloration of the tubes from red to yellow [23] .
Antimicrobial Activity
The antimicrobial activity of the strains was demonstrated according to the method used by [24] rehabilitated using Blanck Discs (Liofilchem s.r.l.). The reference pathogenic strains used are: Escherichia coli ATCC 29522, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29911 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853.
Enzymatic Activity
Lipolytic and proteolytic activities were tested according to spot method. Thus the appearance of transparent areas translates the activity or an absence in the opposite case [23]
Statistical analysis
Frequencies and averages were calculated by the Microsoft Excel 2013 software. The photos and figures were processed by the paint.net software version 4.0.6.
3. Results3.1. Characteristics of Strains
Macroscopic observation revealed several types of colonies of different size, shape, and color. As for the microscopic observation, it showed cells in the form of Bacillus, hull, ovoid, isolated and in chain more or less long. Bacillus, all bacilli are 100% gram, catalase and oxidase positive. Of the 13 lactic acid bacteria selected, 76.92% were bacilli against 23.08% shell. They were all gram positive colonies but totally devoid of catalase and cytochrome oxidase. The yeasts were of variable size and shape, all provided with catalase and oxidase. Thus, 7 Bacillus 5 were retained for identification. For lactic acid bacteria 7 out of 13 were chosen. For yeasts, all 13 have been molecularly identified.
3.2. Molecular Characterization of Strains
Identification of Bacillus and lactic acid bacteria by PCR respectively with primer pair BK1F/BK1R and LbF/LbR: Figure 1(a) shows the profile of the Bacillus strains amplified by the primer pair (BK1F/BK1R). This figure reveals the presence of a band specific to the genus Bacillus whose size is between 1000 - 1200 bp for strains BC1a; BC9b: BC2a and BC1b. The profile of isolated lactic acid bacteria strains amplified by the LbF and LbR primer pair specific to the Lactobacillus
genus. Thus, a specific 230pb band is observed for the BL5d strains; BL12c; BL12g; BL5b; BL5c; BL21a corresponding to the genus Lactobacillus. While, the amplification of strain BL12a was negative (Figure 1(b)).
Yeast identification by PCR: For yeasts, two pairs of primers specific to Candida krusei species (CkFKSfor359/CkFKSrev359) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC-fw/SC-rw) were used for molecular identification. Amplification of the strains with the Candida krusei primer pair revealed no specific band for this species (Figure 2(a)). Figure 2(a) shows the profile of the yeasts amplified by the primer pair specific for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae species. Note the presence of a specific band of about 215 bp with only the strain Lev5c.
3.3. Probiotic Fitness of Isolated Strains
Susceptibility of antibiotics: the Bacillus strains tested were resistant to five antibiotics (Ox, STR, P, E and TIC), total sensitivity to two antibiotics (GEN and IMI) and intermediate resistance to two antibiotics (AMP and K). Thus the susceptible to antibiotics depends on one strain to another. The BL5b strain was sensitive to all antibiotics (Table 2).
Strain resistance to pH and bile salts: Table 3 summarizes the results obtained;
Antibiotic Susceptibility of Bacillus Strains and Lactic Acid Bacteria

visual observation of the state of fading of the tubes and taking the final pH. All strains survived the presence of bile (0.3%) and acidified culture media (decreased pH). For all strains, no discoloration of the culture media was observed at pH 2.5 and pH 4.5 at all with Bacillus. While discoloration of the culture media was observed at pH 4.5 for all yeast strains tested. Discoloration was also observed in three strains of lactic acid bacteria (BL5c, BL12a and BL12c) at pH 4.5 (Table 3).
Antimicrobial activity: among Bacillus, only strain BC9b showed action of inhibitory actions against pathogens Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29911 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 with diameters of 10 mm. Similarly, two strains of lactic acid bacteria (BL5c and BL12c) inhibited these two pathogens. The inhibitory action of yeasts was more remarkable because only two strains (Lev3 and Lev21c) were ineffective against Escherichia coli ATCC 29522. The other strains were able to inhibit pathogens with diameters ranging from 10 to 21 mm (Figure 3(a)).
Figure 3(b) shows the zones of inhibition of pathogenic strains by isolated strains. All yeasts exhibited an inhibitory action against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29911 (Figure 3(b1)). Bacillus colony invasion is observed without inhibiting Escherichia coli strain ATCC 29522 (Figure 3(b2)), but in lactic acid bacteria the inhibitory action is only visible with strain 7 (BL5c) and 9 (BL12c) (Figure 3(b)).
Enzymatic activity: All the strains tested presented enzymatic activities through the appearance of the transparent zones around the colony spots except the BC9b strain in Bacillus. Figure 4(a) shows the lipolytic activity of Bacillus strains on red palm oil, Figure 4(b) on lactic acid bacteria and Figure 4(c) on yeast. Figure 4(d), Figure 4(e), and Figure 4(f) show the ability of isolated strains to hydrolyze milk proteins. Transparent areas appear around all the colonies deposited in spots. The activity is stronger in Bacillus (Figure 4(d)) than in lactic acid bacteria (Figure 4(e)) and yeasts (Figure 4(f)).
4. Discussion
The strains characterized in this study come mainly from Benkida. This porridge is the most produced and popular by the population unlike other porridge such as Benkoonré and rice porridge [25] . Among these strains, Bacillus were dominant in the flora of these porridges because of their ability to sporulate. But we also note the presence of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in these porridge. Thus the identification of these microorganisms has been confirmed by PCR via the use of specific primers.
Of the five presumptive Bacillus strains selected for identification, four (BC1a, BC9b: BC2a and BC1b) were confirmed Bacillus after molecular characterization by PCR. The presence of Bacillus-specific bands around 1000 bp confirms their identity (Figure 1(a)). These results are similar to those reported by [26] [27] and [28] who used the same primer pairs for the identification of Bacillus isolated from fermented foods respectively from Burkina Faso, Tchad and Gabon.
As for the identification of lactic acid bacteria, the amplification revealed the presence of Lactobacillus-specific bands whose size is close to 230 bp (Figure 1(b)). Thus, six (6) strains were confirmed as Lactobacillus (BL5d, BL12c, BL12g, BL5b, BL5c, and B21a). This same result was reported by [29] and [30] when identifying lactic bacteria isolated from Attiéké, a cassava-based fermented food.
For the identification of yeasts via the use of Candida krusei-specific primer, no specific band was revealed (Figure 2(a)). The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-specific primer confirmed the identity of the Lev5c strain, as a specific band belonging to this strain was revealed (Figure 2(b), 215 bp). Similar results have been reported by [29] and [30] . Other strains that did not give specific bands could belong to other genera such as Cryptococcus, Geotrichum, Brettanomyces, Leucosporidium, and Kluveromyces. Only primers specific to these genera will allow a complete identification of isolated strains.
Some bacteria have developed antibiotic resistance mechanisms. These mechanisms include the production of various antibiotic inactivation enzymes, modifications of sites of attack and antibiotic permeability [31] [32] reported that Bacillus has a capacity for resistance to beta-lactams. A strain of lactic acid bacterium showed sensitivity to all antibiotics tested. The work of [33] reported a relative sensitivity of lactic acid bacteria and intrinsic resistance of Lactobacillus to the aminoglycoside family.
The discolourations observed in some tubes reflect growth of strains that have probably released metabolites. The latter varied the pH, which resulted in the shift of methyl red. The resistance to bile presented by all the strains tested offers interesting information on the satisfaction of one of the criteria of eligibility as a probiotic. As for the ability to withstand the pH noted especially in yeasts and some strains of lactic acid bacteria, this could be related to the fact that the pH value is within the tolerance limits. Bacillus did not survive pH, even at 4.5, but acidification was noted in some cases, which is why pH declines were observed [34] .
A single strain of Bacillus (BC9) showed efficacy against two pathogens (Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29911 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27953), confirming its ability to produce bacteriocins. These results were obtained by [35] who identified Bacillus strains producing these substances against pathogens such as Micrococcus luteus. Our results showed that two strains of lactic acid bacteria inhibit the same pathogens as those made with the genus Bacillus. [36] obtained inhibitory actions of Lactobacillus strains on E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, but these strains were isolated from cheeses confirming that the antimicrobial activity of the strains also depends on the food matrix. As for yeasts, their activity was noticed with greater inhibition diameters on reference pathogens compared to those of Bacillus and lactic acid bacteria. These results are confirmed by the work of Hatoum who identified in milk mycocine-producing yeasts capable of inhibiting several enterobacteria [37] .
All strains tested exhibited proteolytic activities. These results are confirmed by the work of [21] . The proteolytic activity was much more visible for Bacillus compared to lactic acid bacteria (moderately) and yeasts (weakly). As for the lipolytic activity, it remains as low in the latter two groups of microorganisms namely lactic acid bacteria and yeasts [38] .
5. Conclusion
This study allowed the isolation of three categories of strains namely Bacillus lactic bacteria and yeasts. The molecular biology method allowed the identification of strains from Bacillus-specific primers, Lactobacillus and yeasts belonging to the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These results are close to those obtained from the preliminary tests. These strains, mostly non-pathogenic according to literary research, may be of significant technological interest after further tests, namely probiotic efficacy and amylolytic potency. The tested strains resisted a wide range of antibiotics except Gentamicin and Imipenem. This resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is considered a public health problem according to the World Health Organization (WHO). An exhaustive study is necessary for the rigorous selection of non-resistant strains proving necessary. Tests on some enzymatic activities have provided interesting results proving that part of the microbiota because of their properties can be standardized
