Abstract
The effect of EDTA on growth and antibacterial activity of two lactobacilli strains isolated from Armenian traditional dairy product matsoun, as well as on growth of test strains in medium supplemented with EDTA was studied. The obtained results demonstrate that EDTA totally inhibits the growth of lactobacilli strains and their antibacterial activity in low concentrations of 0.5 mM to 10 mM. It also inhibits the growth of Micrococcus luteus and Salmonella typhimurium.
