Abstract
The antibacteria substances produced by lactic acid bacteria render them more advantages in the competition with other microorganism. The primary antimicrobial effect by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) is the production of lactic acid. Lactic Acid Bacteria were isolated from corn gruel and corn steep liquor on Deman, Rogosa and Sharpe agar (MRS) using standard microbiological techniques and biochemical tests was performed with standard test. Microbial load of corn gruel ranged from 4.5 X 106 to 5.7 X 106 and corn steep liquor ranged from 2.5 X 106 to 6.5 X 106. Lactic Acid Bacteria isolated include L. plantarum, L. casei, L. breuis and L. fermentum. The antimicrobial activity of lactic Acid Bacteria against klebsiella was observed to have lowest zone of inhibition 5.5mm and highest zone of inhibition against Pseudomonas spp as 18mm. the antibacterial substance of Lactic Acid Bacteria could be effective in preparation of food borne diseases.
