Antimicrobial activity of extracts from in vivo and in vitro propagated Lamium album L. plants.

The antimicrobial activity of 18 different extracts from in vivo and in vitro grown L. album L. plants was evaluated against clinical bacteria and yeasts using the well diffusion method.

Identification and in vitro characterisation of Lactobacillus plantarum strains from artisanal Bulgarian white brined cheeses.

Strains were derived from phenotypically homogenous Lactobacillus group and were identified as L. plantarum based on both phenotypic and molecular identification (species-specific and multiplex PCR) methods.
