Abstract
A nea screening method, using micro plate wells, was developed for det ecting the bacteriocin producer in lactic acid bacteria. The method wa s applied for screening the bacteriocin producer in L. acidophilus gro up lactic acid bacteria isolated from human feces with 19 bacteria use d as indicator strains. Of the 98 strains, 62 were finally selected as the bacteriocin producers, including 39 strains positive against at l east one of food-borne pathogenic bacteria.
