Abstract: The MIC of nisin to Streptococcus thermophilus was determined by serial twofold dilutions in skim milk medium and whey medium. In skim milk medium, Streptococcus thermophilus 9 was tamed by gradually increasing the nisin concentration until its resistance reaching 300 IU of nisin per ml. The two nisin-resistant Streptococcus thermophilus strains 9.31 and 9.4, fit for two yogurt culture were gained and assayed by production performance identification and genetic stability test.

Key words: nisin, isolation of nisin-resistant, Streptococcus thermophilus
