Lactic Acid Bacteria as a Natural Way of Controlling Fish Spoilage
ABSTRACT: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a group of micro-organism which are non-spore
forming Gram positive rods, which are known to produce lactic acid in fermentation as an
end product, and most importantly, bacteriocins, some of which are known to be able
inhibit bacteria that cause food spoilage. This study will aim to investigate whether o
