Effect of antimicrobial metabolites
Lactobacilli reveal different antimicrobial mechanisms
which can be shown through in vitro assays. The antimicrobial
activity in liquid media is favored by rapidly diffusing
antimicrobial compounds including organic acids
and bacteriocins [28]. In the present study no inhibitory
effect of bacteriocin was observed against the pathogens
and spoilage bacteria previously listed (data not shown).
