Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention concerns novel Lactobacillus strains and the uses thereof, in particular for preserving foods, animal feedstuff, pharmaceutical compositions and/or cosmetic compositions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for inhibiting growth of at least one fungal organism in a food composition, animal feedstuff, a pharmaceutical composition or a cosmetic composition, the method comprising: providing lactic acid bacteria deposited at DSMZ (Deutsche Sammlunq fuer Mikroomanismen and Zellkulturen GmbH) on Jun. 26, 2009 under accession no. DSM 22721 or a lysate thereof, wherein said lactic acid bacteria is capable of anaerobic growth at 37° C., and adding said lactic acid bacteria or said lysate thereof to the food composition, animal feedstuff, pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition, wherein the lactic acid bacteria or lysate thereof, inhibits the growth of at least one fungal organism in said food composition, animal feedstuff, pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the food composition is a meat product or a dairy product. 3. A method for preserving foodstuff, animal feedstuff, a pharmaceutical composition or a cosmetic composition, the method comprising adding the lactic acid bacteria deposited at DSMZ (Deutsche Sammlunq fuer Mikroomanismen and Zellkulturen GmbH) on Jun. 26, 2009 under accession no. DSM 22721 or a lysate thereof to the foodstuff, animal feedstuff, pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition, wherein the lactic acid bacteria or lysate thereof preserves the foodstuff, animal feedstuff, pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition, and wherein said lactic acid bacteria is capable of anaerobic growth at 37° C. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the lactic acid bacteria are live lactic acid bacteria. 5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the lactic acid bacteria or lysate thereof comprises 10 2 to 10 15 lactic acid bacteria cells per 100 g food composition, animal feedstuff, pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the lactic acid bacteria or lysate thereof comprises 10 8 to 10 12 lactic acid bacteria cells per 100 g food, animal feedstuff, pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition. 7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the lactic acid bacteria or lysate thereof is added to a concentration of 0.0001 wt % to 0.01 wt %. 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the lactic acid bacteria or lysate thereof is added to a concentration of 0.0001 wt % to 0.001 wt %.
