Studies on DL-Forming Lactic Acid Bacteria. Part II

Antimicrobial Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria against Common Pathogenic Bacteria

Abstract       Background and Objective: Probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the health of digestive system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial ability of acidic and neutral supernatants (culture supernatant) of lactic acid bacteria against common bacterial pathogens.        Meth...

Lactic Acid Bacteria

Lactic acid bacteria comprise an ecologically diverse group of microorganisms united by formation of lactic acid as the primary metabolite of sugar metabolism (Davis et al., 1985b; 1988; Lonvaud-Funel, 1999; Carr et al., 2002; Liu, 2002). These bacteria utilize sugars by either homoor heterofermentative pathways (Section 2.4.1) as well as l-malic acid, a major acid present in grape must (Sectio...
