摘要：The purpose of this study was to isolate, select andcharacterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from abalone as a potential candidate probioticin abalone cultivation system. Selective isolation of LAB performed using de ManRogosa Sharpe medium. LAB isolate that potential as probiotics was screened.Selection was based on its ability to suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria,bacterial resistance to acidic conditions and bacterial resistance to bile salts (bile).Further characterization and identification conducted to determine the species. Theresults showed that two of the ten isolates potential to be developed as probioticbacteria that have the ability to inhibit several pathogenic bacteria such as Eschericiacoli, Bacillus cereus dan Staphylococus aureus, able to grow at acidic condition andbile tolerance during the incubation for 24 hour. Based on the API test kit, the both ofisolate identified as members of the species Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei
