This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional fermented foods and to develop a new starter for fermented milk. The isolates were identified using 16S rDNA sequencing and named Lactobacillus plantarum A, Leuconostoc lactis B and L. acidophilus C. The activity of these strains to inhibit the growth of food-borne human pathogens (Escherichia coli NCTC 12923, Salmonella Typhimurium NCTC 12023, Listeria monocytogenes NCTC 11994) was measured using the paper disc method. All these strains showed strong antibacterial activity against Li. monocytogenes NCTC 11994. The experiment groups were the fermented milks with these strains, and the control group was the fermented milk with the commercial starter (ABT 5). The change of pH, acidity and viable cell counts were measured during their aging time. All the experiment groups showed a significant difference in their aging times compared to the control group. However, the sensory test showed that the experiment groups can be used as useful starters for fermented milk. This result suggests that L. plantarum A, Leu. lactis B and L. acidophilus C have the potential to be developed as new starters for fermented milk.

대두 발효식품으로부터 분리 동정한 B. subtilis HS 25가 생산한 항균물질의 특성을 검토하였다. 열안정성을 검토한 결과, 에서 10분 처리에서는 항균활성이 전혀 떨어지지 않았지만 15분 이상의 처리에서는 항균활성이 약간 떨어지는 경향을 보였다. pH 안정성은 pH 의 산성측보다 pH 까지의 알칼리 범위에서 안정된 항균활성을 유지하였다. 특히, E. coli 및 P. mirabilis에 대한 항균활성은 pH 12.0에서도 대조구와 거의 대
