the aim of this work was identified lactic floraas a traditional fermented food and then evaluates antimicrobial activities of some strains. a total of 140 gram-positive and catalase-negative isolates were subjected to grouping by physiological and biochemical tests and carbohydrates fermentation. based on the resultsthese 140 isolateswere dividedinto 9 groups. two or three isolated were select...

the present investigation was carried out to isolate and characterize antagonistic bacteria against wilt causing fungal pathogen i.e. fusarium oxysporum, from the rhizosphere of tomato. fifty-six bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soil samples of healthy tomato fields, collected from different locations of faridabad district, haryana, india. out of these, ten isolates were fou...

AIMS To use antioxidative activity and antagonistic properties of lactobacilli against selected pathogens and members of the normal microflora as a basis for screening probiotic candidates. METHODS AND RESULTS Antagonistic activity of lactobacilli against target bacteria in both microaerobic and anaerobic environments was tested. Production of antagonistic metabolites (ethanol, hydrogen perox...

The genome of Paenibacillus polymyxa Sb3-1, a strain that shows antagonistic activities against pathogenic fungi and bacteria, consists of one 5.6-Mb circular chromosome and two plasmids of 223 kb and 8 kb. The genome reveals several genes that potentially contribute to its antagonistic and plant growth promotion activity.
