Abstract

Culture filtrates of 14 natural isolates of lactic acid bacteria from samples of market dahi and milk exhibited antimicrobial activity against a few important foodborne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Among these, 11 cultures were from dahi and a higher proportion of these were identified to be the species of Lactobaciϊίus. The antimicrobial principles involved are a proteinaceous substance and hydrogen peroxide.
