The probiotic potential of newly isolated lactic acid bacteria from cow’s milk was analysed and the efficacy of the selected isolates to produce folic acid was determined by microbiological assay. Two isolates, CM 22 and CM 28 were selected for folate production in skim milk medium and the net folate yield was 12.5 ng and 14.2 ng/mL respectively. The two isolates (CM 22 and CM 28) showed more than 98% similarity to Lactococcus subsp. cremoris and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis respectively by 16S rRNA sequencing.
