Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a sweet herb of the Asteraceae family originally derived from South America. Twenty three bacterial strains and ten yeast strains were isolated from fermented Stevia extract and identified by general taxonomic methods and molecular genetic method. Isolated strains from fermented Stevia extract include ten species of bacteria which belong to five genus and one species of yeast. Based on 16S and 18S rDNA sequence analysis, phylogenetic trees were constructed. Antimicrobial activity of the isolated strains was examined against various bacteria and plant-pathogenic fungi. Among them, Lactobacillus paracasei SB13 showed strong antibacterial activity towards a wide range of bacteria. These results may be useful to develop environmentally friendly microbial agent for soil improvement.
