The aim of the study was to analyze the potential of brown rice polishing waste as substrate for antifungal metabolite production by newly lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from cereal based sourdoughs. The Lactobacillus plantarum, L. brevis, L. paracasei, L. uvarum, L. farraginis, Pediococcus pentosaceus and P. acidilactici strains were used for the experiment. The antifungal activity of the strains was evaluated against variety of agronomical important filamentous fungi as Fusarium graminearum, F. culmorum, F. nivale measuring the inhibition zones. The rice polish fermentation was carried out in a single step without growth supplementation at solid state fermentation (SSF) conditions. The results confirmed that rice polish is suitable substrate for the production of antifungal metabolites by selected LAB strains. The P. acidilactici LUHS173 and L. brevis strains LUHS100 and LUHS140, and P. pentosaceus LUHS22 showed the highest antifungal activity against F. graminearum. However, metabolites of tested LAB showed lower fungicidal activities against the F. culmorum. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that certain metabolites would be suitable candidates for use as antifungal agents.
