Antimicrobial Activity of Bacteriocin-Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria

摘要

The present invention relates to novel bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria strains Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MM19 accession number NML-080508-01 and Pediococcus acidilactici MM33 accession number NML-080508-02 isolated from the human gut. The strains L. lactis subsp. lactis MM19 and P. acidilactici MM33 and the bacteriocins produced by these strains are useful for inhibiting microbial growth in food products, and for inhibiting microbial infection or colonization of a mammal.
