Effects of fermentation substrates and conservation methods on the viability and antimicrobial activity of Weissella confusa and its metabolites

Lactic acid bacteria produce metabolites with antagonistic activity against other bacteria. However, growth conditions and conservation methods may reduce the viability and antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria. This study evaluated the effects of fermentation substrate, lyophilization (fre...
