Lactobacillus coryniformis subsp. coryniformis strain Si3 produces a broad-spectrum proteinaceous antifungal compound

Article Abstract:

Research is presented on the antifungal activity spectrum of the Si3 strain of Lactobacillus coryniformis subsp. coryniformis, specifically its inhibition of Aspergillus- and Fusarium-type molds in dual-culture agar plate assays. Ethanol, added to the growth medium, was found to prevent antifungal activity decline; heat treatment and autoclaving did not reduce the activity nor render it unstable.
