Type of article: Article

Summary

Bacteriocinogenicity in relation to C. botulinum spores is investigated at 4, 10, 15 and 35 deg C for different lactic acid bacteria (Lactococcus lactis, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum and L. acidophilus). All the samples, except L. acidophilus N2, inhibit the spores at 30 deg C. L. plantarum, L. lactis and P. pentosaceus are bacteriocinogenous at 4, 10 and 15 deg C. The effect of sodium chloride on biosynthesis of bacteriocine by lactic acid bacteria is outlined.
