Abstract
LAB with antifungal activity against the phytopathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, which causes anthracnose in papaya were isolated and identified. Ten LAB strains with strong antifungal capacity were isolated from two samples of fermented beverages (Tepache and Tejuino) and identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (3 strains), L. paracasei (4 strains) and L. pentosus (3 strains) by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene fragment at the species level (100% homology). All the strains inhibited spore germination by at least 60% and mycelial growth by 100%. These results can potentially contribute to the search for innocuous biocontrol agents of the fungus that causes anthracnose in fruits.
