Inhibitory Substances Produced by Native Lactobacillus plantarum UTNCys5-4 Control Microbial Population Growth in Meat

Figure 1

Average counts of microbial population in meat samples after treatment with (a) cell cultures; (b) cell-free supernatant; and (c) partial precipitated peptides, nisin and nitrite. Values with different letters are significantly different . Small letters show the difference between total contaminant-storage time and control (LSD with Bonferroni correction); capital letters indicate the differences in the cell counts at different storage time (Duncan’s test). Control: total viable counts detected in untreated meat; Cys5-4: L. plantarum UTNCys5-4; LP: L. plantarum ATCC 8014.
