Lactobacilli isolated from different food and feed samples such as raw milk, cheese, yoghurt, olives, sour dough as well as corn and grass silage, were screened for their antifungal activities. Out of 1.424 isolates tested. 82 were shown to be inhibitory to different yeasts (Candida spp. and Zygosaccharomyces bailii) and a Penicillium sp., which were previously isolated from spoiled yoghurt and fruits. Carbohydrate fermentation patterns suggested that a substantial portion. 2.5%, belonged to the Lactobacillus easel group, including L. easel, L. paracasei, and L rhamnosus. The isolates SM20 (DS.%,I 14514). SM29 (DSM14515), and SM63 (DSM14516) were classified by PCR using species-specific primers to target the corresponding type strains (L. casei, L. paracasei, and L. rhamnosus) as controls. Further molecular typing methods such as randomly amplified polymorphic DNA, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and sequencing analysis of the 16S rRNA gene allowed classifying! strains SM20, SM29, and SM63 as L. paracasei subsp. paracasei in accordance with the new reclassification of the L easel group proposed by Collins et al.
