title: Effects of microbial metabolites on catalase activity and growth of Staphylococcus aureus 6538 P.
abstract: The effects of cell extracts and supernatants of Lactobacillus spp. and Corynebacterium spp. on catalase activity and growth of Staphylococcus aureus 6538 P were studied. Intra- and extracellular metabolites of lactobacilli and corynebacteria inhibited catalase activity of S. aureus 6538 P. The growth of S. aureus 6538 P decreased after incubation with lactobacillus metabolites. The inhibitory effect of intra- and extracellular metabolites of lactobacilli and corynebacteria on catalase activity of S. aureus is a possible pathway of microbial interrelations responsible for the formation and/or development of microbial biocenoses.
