Sensitivity of 588 strains of Lactobacilli belonging to 15 species was studied with respect to 39 bacteriocinogenic strains of Lactobacilli producing 39 variants of bacteriocins. The study provided a set of 20 indicator strains of Lactobacilli. With the use of this set it is possible to mark Lactobacilli of various species and differentiate them into 39 bacteriocinogenic types. This may be used in taxonomic and epidemiological studies.
