Abstract Lactobacillus plantarum CS and Micrococcus luteus CS were isolated from developed fermented milled-mixed corn-soybean wastes-meal in a previous study. In other to confirm the isolates as probiotics, several assays were determined including bile resistance, bile de-conjugation, haemolytic and antimicrobial tests. Their optimum pH, temperature and time-course were also assayed. Lactobacillus plantarum CS and Micrococcus luteus CS had their respective optimal growths within 18 h and 24 h at pH of 5.6 and 6.0 and temperature optima at 37 °C and 31 °C. It was only L. plantarum CS that demonstrated significant (P
