Although several strains ofB. subtiliswith antifungal activity have been isolated worldwide, to date there are no published reports regarding the isolation of a nativeB. subtilisstrain from strawberry plants in Mexico. A native bacterium... more
Biofilms have been of considerable interest in the context of food hygiene. Of special significance is the ability of microorganisms to attach and grow on food and food-contact surfaces under favourable conditions. Biofilm formation is a... more
We have shown previously that in the presence of inducer Bacillus cereus 183, significant increases in bacteriocin production and bactericidal activity of B. thuringiensis occur when the latter is cultivated at pH 7.2, 28°C, and 180 rpm.... more
Fermenticin HV6b is a class IIa antimicrobial peptide produced byLactobacillus fermentumHV6b MTCC 10770 isolated from human vaginal ecosystem. It shows growth inhibition of a wide range of opportunistic pathogens of humans, for... more
Five psychrotrophic strains of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei, Lact. plantarum and Pediococcus spp.) were isolated from 22 samples of commercial salads. These strains were shown to inhibit Aeromonas hydrophila, Listeria... more
Approximately 1000 lactobacillus strains were isolated and screened for the production of antimicrobial activity, using a target panel of spoilage organisms and pathogens. Only eight positive strains were found; two of these were studied... more
M. ZAMFIR, R. CALLEWAERT, P.C. CORNEA, L. SAVU, I. VATAFU and L. DE VUYST.1999.Lactobacillus acidophilus IBB 801 produces a small bacteriocin, designated acidophilin 801, with an estimated molecular mass of less than 6·5 kDa. It displays... more
Enterococci are gram-positive bacteria and fit within the general definition of lactic acid bacteria. Modern classification techniques resulted in the transfer of some members of the genus Streptococcus, notably some of the Lancefield’s... more
Probiotics including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria, Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Bacillus, Lactococcus and some yeasts are usually present in the human gastrointestinal tract, fermented milk and other dairy products, human faeces and... more
