A process for inhibiting foodborne pathogens and reducing foodborne disease involves contacting a living animal, a dressed carcass, or a cut of meat with an effective amount of astrain exhibiting antibacterial activity. Strains of antibacterialthat are particularly effective for inhibitingwere discovered. These includeOBT 618 andOBT 712.

Strains of bacillus for inhibiting foodborne pathogens

A process for inhibiting foodborne pathogens and reducing foodborne disease involves contacting a living animal, a dressed carcass, or a cut of meat with an effective amount of astrain exhibiting antibacterial activity. Strains of antibacterialthat are particularly effective for inhibiting Vibrio were discovered. These includeOBT 712 andOBT 618.

The invention related to the use ofstrain OBT618 (ATCC PTA-122188) for inhibitingpathogens in a material contaminated with the pathogens. The strain can be added to animal feed, animal waste or food processing facility waste that is contained withto inhibit the pathogen.

The invention relates to the use ofstrain OBT618 (ATCC PTA-122188) for inhibitingpathogens in a material such as water or manure contaminated with the pathogen. The strain can be added to drinking water, animal feed or animal litter to reduce disease caused by the presence ofin an animal.

A process of selectively degrading fatty acids in fat-containing waste materials without significant degradation of triglycerides, thereby converting otherwise economically burdensome waste materials into valuable products, involves contacting a fat-containing waste comprising triglycerides and fatty acids with a bacterial culture comprisingbacteria capable of degrading fatty acids into water and carbon dioxide, and wherein the bacterial culture is substantially free of microorganisms capable of producing extra-cellular lipase in an amount that would cause significant degradation of the triglycerides.
