ABSTRACT Probiotic cultures were isolated from the poultry samples and these cultures were characterized for probiotic characters. These cultures were analyzed for probiotic nature and allowed for PCR gene confirmation and agar gel electrophoresis for gene sequencing. Lactic acid bacillus, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus rhamnoses cultures were isolated from the poultry samples. Lactic acid bacillus was isolated from the intestinal samples, Bacillus subtilis was isolated from chicken gizzard, E. Coli and salmonella were isolated from the chicken feces samples. Probiotic characters like bile salt resistance, tolerance to acid, antimicrobial resistance, antibiotic resistance, heat resistance, gastric juice resistance tests were conducted for all probiotic isolates. All probiotic culture isolates were tested for probiotic characters and allowed for the gene confirmation. The probiotic character tests were analyzed by paired T-

INTRODUCTION The major infection causing agents to the poultry industry were the pathogens (e.g. Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens and Salmonella sp.). Eradication of the pathogen infections are done by antibiotics. Without antibiotics, the industry becomes susceptible to pathogen infections. Due to the risk of antibiotic usages, researchers found an alternative solution, which was probiotics. Probiotics was used instead of antibiotics. The broilers were fed with probiotics and this gave better output in terms of growth and disease resistance than the control group. Lactic acid-producing bacteria such as lactobacilli, streptococci, bifidobacteria, Bacillus spp. and fungi-like Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces boulardii and Aspergillus oryzae (Fuller, 1992; Asmahan Azhari Ali, 2011). These were the most commonly used probiotic cultures. However, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was treated as a good probiotic culture isolated from the ileum flora of broiler chicks (Saavedra, 2001). So many culture strains were isolated from the ileum sample but the main thing was to isolate the probiotic characters containing cultures- a live microbial feed supplement, which beneficially affects the host animal by improving its intestinal balance, defined as the probiotics (Fuller 1989). Antimicrobial substances such as organic acids, diacetyl hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins were produced by probiotics to inhibit the growth of the pathogens (Cleveland et al. 2001). Bacteriocins were synthesized from peptides or proteins ribosomally with antimicrobial properties that often targeted bacterial species by livestock (Diez-Gonzalez 2007). The probiotic species like Bifidobacterium sp., Streptococcus sp., (Patterson and Burkholder, 2003) Lactobacillus sp., Enterococcus sp. were non-spore-former cultures. These cultures were sensitive to harsh environments, so there was the need to use spore formers for the poultry industry to resist the www.tjprc.org
