Bacteriocin-Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria Strains with Antimicrobial Activity Screened from Bamei Pig Feces.

ABSTRACT: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are characterized by producing various functional metabolites, including antioxidants, organic acids, and antimicrobial compounds, are widely used in the food industry to improve gut health and prevent the growth of spoilage microorganisms. With the continual incidence of foodborne disease and advocacy of consumers for gut health, LAB have been designated as vital biopreservative agents in recent years. Therefore, LAB with excellent antimicrobial properties and environmental tolerance should be explored further. In this study, we focus on screening the LAB strains from a specialty pig (Bamei pig) feces of the Tibetan plateau region and determine their antimicrobial properties and environmental tolerance to evaluate their potential probiotic values.
