Total of 34 Pediococci were isolated from 7 different sausage samples from different re­tailers in Kahramanmaraş and the identification results showed that 4(11.7%) isolates were Pediococcus pen-tasaceus. The amounts of lactic acid and H2O2 produced by the strains were in ranges 0.11-0.32% and 0.41­0.81 ug/ml.

The inhibitory effects of the bacteriocins and /or bacteridn-like substances in the Pediococcus pento­saceus strains were determined on Bacillus brevis FMC 3, Bacillus megaterium DSM 32, Bacillus subtiUs IMG 22, Micrococcus Intens LA 2971, Mycobacterium smegmatus RUT, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Yer­sinia enierocolitica 0:3 P41797, using the agar diffusion method.

The results showed that strains produced different amounts of metabolic compounds and showed in­hibition effect against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.
