Fusarium crown rot of wheat, caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, significantly affects the yield and quality of wheat worldwide. Here, Streptomyces noursei strain S86 (herein referred to as S86), was evaluated for its biocontrol efficacy and biochemical characteristics. Strain S86 was found to secrete cellulase, amylase and other enzymes. Whole genome sequencing and LC-MS analyses confirmed that S86 could produce toyocamycin, nystatin, anisomycin, natamycin, and other antimicrobial metabolites. The fermentation broth of S86 inhibited the growth of F. pseudograminearum and had broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against Rhizoctonia cerealis, Cochliobolus sativus, Fusarium graminearum, and Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis. A greenhouse experiment demonstrated that wheat seeds coated with S86 fermentation broth showed better control efficiency against Fusarium crown rot (68.33%), which was 22.63% higher than direct root irrigation with the S86 fermentation broth. These results indicate that S86 fermentation products have the potential to be developed as biological controls of Fusarium crown rot disease in the field.

As antibiotic-resistant bacteria emerge, antimicrobial peptides have become a promising alternative due to their safety, low residue, and low resistance properties. This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial activity of peptides obtained from the fermentation of a halotolerant Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CH. Moreover, an in silico antimicrobial activity of L.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-listeria activities of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Korean fermented foods and to assess the effect of fermentate (cells and cell-free supernatant [CFS]), CFS or cells in controlling L. monocytogenes on smoked salmon, packaged either in vacuum- and air-packaging. One L.

Foods prepared through heating, including broths, have the potential and risk of survival of Bacillus cereus, which has the ability to form spores and biofilms. This study evaluated the efficacy of various natural products (particularly spices) in mitigating B. cereus contamination in Cheonggukjang jjigae (CJ) broth.

Background: Lactiplantibacillus pentosus 292 is a lactic acid bacterium (LAB) with significant probiotic potential, but large-scale production is often limited by high production costs and preservation challenges. This study aimed to develop a cost-effective medium to enhance lactic acid production and establish a feasible preservation strategy to support the strain's large-scale application.
Results: A low-cost medium containing glucose, yeast powder, K₂HPO₄, and Tween-80 was formulated, enabling Lactiplantibacillus pentosus 292 to achieve a lactic acid yield of 16.
