a
Strains were assayed for bacteriocin production by stab inoculating them into a soft TY agar plate that had been seeded with an indicator strain. +, presence of a zone of inhibition; −, absence of a zone of inhibition. VF39SM and 336 are small-bacteriocin-producing strains that are used as indicators for medium-bacteriocin production.
