- Abstract
Abstract A collection of lactic acid bacteria isolated from both mayonnaise-based products and raw materials used to manufacture them was tested for antimicrobial activity. Out of 144 strains (97 lactobacilli, 23 lactococci and 24 enterococci) only three supernatants of Enterococcus spp. strains (EN3, EN14 and EN15) exhibited activity against lactobacilli and lactococci. The supernatant of the strain EN3 exclusively inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes. Enterococcus strains EN3, EN14 and EN15 produced thermostable bacteriocins, which had antibacterial activity.
