The invention provides combinations of bacteriophages for use in reducing and preventing growth of Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli.

The disclosure discloses Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CCFM1018 and application thereof in preparation of food and medicine for excreting a plasticizer, and belongs to the technical field of microorganisms. The Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CCFM1018 not only is significantly better than the intestinal resident bacteria Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis in terms of the effect of promoting the excretion of DEHP and MEHP, but also is better than the commercial strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG. Therefore, the Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CCFM1018 of the disclosure can be used as an effective means to prevent and alleviate body damage caused by DEHP and MEHP, and does not have toxic or side effects of drugs. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CCFM1018 can be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions and fermented food for alleviating and preventing the toxicity of DEHP and metabolites thereof, and has a very broad application prospect.

A method of controlling or preventing infestation of plants by fungi, wherein a fungicidally effective amount of cyclothiazomycin C, is applied to the plants, to parts thereof or the locus thereof.

A method for producing a purée from a food product, comprising the following steps: refining the food product up to obtaining a purée; de-activating the enzymes by heating the purée, in order to prevent oxidation of the purée. The step of de-activating the enzymes comprises the step of passing an electric current through the purée between electrodes of a first ohmic heater (31).

The present application relates to a Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM181 strain (KCTC 13042BP) producing decreased amounts of gas, a fermentation starter composition comprising the same, and a method for preparing kimchi using the strain.
