Abstract
The effects of cell extracts and supernatants ofLactobacillus spp. andCorynebacterium spp. on catalase activity and growth ofStaphylococcus aureus 6538 P were studied. Intra- and extracellular metabolites of lactobacilli and corynebacteria inhibited catalase activity ofS. aureus 6538 P. The growth ofS. aureus 6538 P decreased after incubation with lactobacillus metabolites. The inhibitory effect of intra- and extracellular metabolites of lactobacilli and corynebacteria on catalase activity ofS. aureus is a possible pathway of microbial interrelations responsible for the formation and/or development of microbial biocenoses.
