Popis: Bacteriocins are gene-encoded inhibitory proteins and those produced by Gram-positive Lactic acid bacteria. Some bacteriocins even display antagonistic activity towards Gram-positive food borne pathogens and spoilage organisms. This present study involves isolation of Bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria from a variety of milk and milk products. The physico-chemical properties of the isolated bacteriocin producing bacterial strains were screened. The isolated bacteriocin bacterial strains were biochemically characterized and identified. Further, the isolated effective bacterial strain was used as a fish feed and its effect on their growth was evaluated. The evaluated data continue to demonstrate that the bacteriocin producing bacterial strains will have greater potential in the food products industry.
