    The natural and inoculation fermentation of carrot-enriched and non- enriched walnut was carried out for 5 days. Freshly prepared Bacillus subtilis b17a, Lactobacillus lactis strain SFL8, and consortium of both organisms were used as starter cultures. The invitro antimicrobial assay of fermented samples on Shigella dysenteriae was carried out using agar well diffusion method. The therapeutic properties of fermented walnut were studied in S. dysenteriae infected wistar albino rats by checking for the physical appearance and haematological parameters of blood of wistar albino rats. Unfermented African walnut had the highest diameter zones of inhibition on S. dysenteriae. Fermented broth cultures had the highest diameter zone of inhibitions on S. dysenteriae on the third day of fermentation and among the fermented samples, Af.. View More»
