A. Nemeth et al., IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BA CTERIOCINS PRODUCED BY LACTIC-ACID BACTERIA, Die Fleischwirtschaft, 76(9), 1996, pp. 911-916
Numerous lactic acid bacteria have been tested for production of bacte
riocins. Listeria-inhibiting effects have been demonstrated for the st
rain Lactobacillus helveticus NCIAM 1148 and for two other strains, La
ctobacillus sake Lb.706, N. 27 and Leuconostoc gelidum NCFB 2782 with
agar-spot and agar-diffusion techniques. Bacteriocin activity of the s
trains were also measured. The Listeria-inhibiting effect of the two s
trains was also determined both in broth, in sterile food and during s
ausage ripening.
