The promising use of
bacteriocin and other metabolites from LAB has proved itself as a good natural preservative.
(
bacteriocin producing strain) is active against bacterial pathogens.
Based on the experimental results, the release of
bacteriocin from nanofibers and its antibacterial activity significantly reduce the number of bacteria.
This is due to competition for nutrients and the presence of inhibitors produced by the starter culture, including organic acids, hydrogen peroxide and
bacteriocins (O'Sullivan et al., 2002).
Sometimes a simple mechanism such as large colony size gives a microbe a competitive edge (Li & Li 2012), and other times a more sophisticated mechanism such as
bacteriocins is employed (Majeed et al.
The objective of the present study is to isolate a
bacteriocin producing bacterium with a wide spectrum antimicrobial property.

plantarum NCIM2084 produced a
bacteriocin (plantaricin LP84) resistant to heat and catalase and was able to inhibit E.
They produce
bacteriocins, bioactive peptides with antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium botulinum (Nettles and Barefoot, 1993) and have been shown to protect mice against P.
