Abstract

See full text

Biologically pure cultures of Bacillus subtilis were isolated from the pericarp of nixtamalized corn. The Bacillus microorganisms were characterized and found to produce novel peptides which have antimicrobial activity. The Bacillus microorganisms are active against Gram-positive bacteria and may be used as an agent to prevent spoilage in foods. The Bacillus microorganisms may be included in probiotic food compositions to help maintain healthy gastrointestinal flora and modulate animal digestion.
