Characterization and antibacterial activity of a Bacteriocin-like Inhibitory Substance (BLIS) produced by Levilactobacillus brevis

Key Points

• Bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against various microbial strains.
• In vitro tests showed a reduction of up to 90% in microbial growth within 24 hours when treated with the substance.
• Characterization of the bacteriocin involved biochemical assays and microbial growth inhibition analysis.
• The findings highlight the potential use of bacteriocin-like substances in food preservation and therapeutic applications.
