Abstract
Processes to produce microorganisms that can be incorporated into a microbial-based product that results in high viable cell yields and shelf-stable products are disclosed. These microbial-based products are useful for inhibiting pathogenic growth and as a food additive. A preferred microorganism is a lactic acid producing bacteria. In one embodiment, the process comprises inoculating either a fermentation medium withorbacterial cells, harvesting theorbacterial cells at least partially during the log phases, concentrating the bacterial cells, and preserving the bacterial cells at a concentration of at least 5×10cfu/ml.
