Stability of Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substance (BLIS) Produced by Pediococcus acidilactici kp10 at Different Extreme Conditions

Table 5

Stability of BLIS during long term storage at different temperatures. The activity was measured using L. monocytogenes ATCC 15313 as an indicator microorganism.
