摘要
The present work aimed to investigate the production of a new antimicrobial substances by Bacillus sp. isolated from fruit, and verify its potential as a pathogen inhibitor associated to deterioration and food disease transmission, such as fungus and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Ten strains were submitted to Gram stain and showed to be bacilli. These strains were tested for production of antimicrobial substances, using as indicators different Gram-positive bacteria. Three strains, named Ame3, Mam1 and Pes1 presented the largest spectrum of action against Gram-positive bacteria, suggesting that the substances produced by these strains may have some potential application as food biopreservative.
