[Screening of producers of bacteriocin-like substances active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
The strains (n = 94) of 16 Pseudomonas species have been screened for producers of substances active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Investigated cultures were divided into two groups. The majority of Pseudomonas species have been included in the first group. These species were able to produce substances with low and medium activity spectrum. In the first group P. mendocina, P. fragi and P. taetrolens lysates were the most active and influenced 30-50% of indicator cultures. Only P. aeruginosa strains belong to the second group. The microorganisms of this group were able to produce substances with considerably higher activity spectrum. Among all investigated pseudomonades four P. aeruginosa strain lysates possessed the highest activity and were active against more than 75% of used cultures. It was shown that the main active killer components of these lysates belonged to low-weight pyocins.
