    Probiotics are microorganisms that live in our bodies and positively affect health when consumed regularly. One of the ways to have a healthy body is to have a healthy microbiota. Because of that, the importance given to the consumption of probiotic foods among the public is increasing. Since probiotics are especially abundant in fermented and traditional foods, consuming these foods is vital to have a healthy microflora. In this thesis, probiotic potentials of bacteria isolated from tarhana, einkorn sourdough, Turkish and Bulgarian-type boza and pickled beetroot foods were investigated, and obtained results were discussed. Based on acid and bile salt tolerance tests, MRS ES-2-3-7-11-12- 17, MRS PT-2-14-16, MRS N-1, MRS EB-3, MRS T-1, M17 N-2 -3-4 showed higher viability in acidic environments (pH 2.0 and 3.0) than the control groups, M17 N-3-4 and M17 TB-1-2 strains showed higher viability at 0.3% and 0.5% bile salt conditions than other strains. For 10 strains which are selected for further tests, in the adhesion to Caco2 cells, MRS ES-3, MRS N-1, MRS T-2, M17 BB-7, M17 N-2 and M17 N-3 showed over 35% adhesion, especially, MRS N-1 and M17 N-2 showed over 85% adhesion to Caco-2 cells. For the antimicrobial activity test, ES-3 strain showed limited effect on S. aureus ATCC 6538 and K. pneumoniae ATCC 4352 pathogens, while other strains showed no inhibitory effect on pathogens. Finally, according to the results of 16S rRNA sequencing, it was determined that MRS ES-3, ES-7, PT-14 strains belonged to L. plantarum, MRS ES-11 strain belonged to L. brevis, M17 BB-7 strain belonged to E. faecium and M17 TB-2 strain belonged to E. durans species.
