Abstract
The antibacterial effect of glycine and NaCl was examined with Bacillus strains (B. cereus IAM 1729, B. subtilis IAM 12118, B. megaterium IAM 1166, B. licheniformis IAM 11054, B. Brevis ATCC 8185, B. akalophylus)
The examination was carried out with trypto soy broth media (pH 7.0), at 35°C for 48 hrs. Glycine (1,3,5%) and NaCl (2,4,6,8,10,12%) were alone or both added in media. The results were as follows:
1) By the addition of 3 - 5 % glycine to media, the growth of Bacillus strains was inhibited and this inhibition was also recognized by the addition of 4-12% NaCl.
2) The synergistic effect for the growth inhibition was also recognized with these two compounds, and the effective concentration of these two was 1-3 % for glycine and 2-6 % for NaCl, respectively.
