With the development and progress of human society and the continuous enhancement of people's health awareness, lactic acid bacteria inhibitors as a natural biopreservative have an irreplaceable position, with the advantages of high efficiency, broad spectrum, stability, safety and other characteristics. This paper studied the antibacterial effect of 23 lactic acid bacteria; the strains with the best antibacterial effect was identified by 16S rDNA method as being Lactobacillus rhamnosus L57 and was applied to banana storage. Our study showed that Lactobacillus rhamnosus L57 has a broad spectrum, inhibiting Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio alginolyticus and Bacillus nato. Excluding the interference of organic acids, hydrogen peroxide and extracellular polysaccharide, the salting out of ammonium sulfate preliminarily determined that the proteins or peptides are the antibacterial substances in the antibacterial agent.
