Genotoxic risks due to high metal levels by bioaccumulation of Tl+1 or its compounds require further evaluation with other in vivo and in vitro assays.The present work was aimed at studying the technological properties of lactobacilli isolated from four tropical fruits (banana, papaya, pineapple, and orange) sold in Dschang (a city of the Menoua Division, West-Cameroon), as well as their ability to produce lactic acid (LA) from by-products of these fruits. After isolation and preliminary identification, homofermentative isolates were investigated for acidifying, amylolytic, cellulolytic activities as well as exopolysaccharides production. The chemical composition of the by-products was determined prior to fermentation assays and the most promising isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. From the 54 homofermentative lactobacilli obtained, 9 isolates were pre-selected based on their higher acidifying activity in MRS-Glucose medium. They all showed amylolytic activity, with the most important activity (54.26 ± 0.10 μg of reducing sugar/ml/min) recorded by isolate O31. Relatively to their cellulolytic activity, isolate 1B9 showed the best activity, displaying a production rate of 7.98 ± 0.40 μg glucose/ml/min, while none of them produced exopolysaccharides. The proximate analysis showed that the fruit-derived by-products contained proteins (0.40 ± 0.06% DM to 1.54 ± 0.06% DM), carbohydrates (61.75 ± 0.75% DM to 71.94 ± 2.02% DM) that are main nutrient needs for bacterial growth. Banana-derived and pineapple-derived by-products showed the highest LA production rates with values, 26.37 ± 0.05 g/l (isolate 3A5) and 26.29 ± 0.38 g/l (isolate 1B9) respectively after 16 h of fermentation. Based on the principal component analysis, isolates O31, 1B9, 3A5, 3A9 and 4O8 were s
