[The fermentation of 50 kinds of TCMs by Bacillus subtilis and the assay of antibacterial activities of fermented products].
50 Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) were fermented by Bacillus subtilis and the antimicrobial activities of the fermented products were assayed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Penicillium avellaneum. The results showed that some products of them had stronger antimicrobial activities, but some weaker than the corresponding raw materials, still some had no change, which indicated that microorganism and TCM can effect each other during fermentation.
