Abstract: The present invention relates to a bacterium of the species Lactobacillus fermentum having the ability to inhibit the growth of the fungus Penicillium solitum deposited under the accession No.: DSM32093 or the growth of the fungus Penicillium brevicompactum deposited under the accession No.: DSM32094 by at least 50%. The inhibitory activity can be determined in an assay comprising: (1) preparing a fermented milk product by: (a) inoculating a milk with the Lactobacillus fermentum in a concentration of at least 107 CFU/g and with a starter culture, (b) fermenting until a p H of 4.6 is reached, and (c) solidifying the fermented milk by the addition of agar; (2) generating at least one spot of the P. solitum or the P. brevicompactum on the agar solidified fermented milk with a concentration of 500 spores/spot and incubating the 1 same for 7 days at 25° C.; (3) determining the percent inhibition by determining the largest diameter of the colony formed by growth of the P. solitum or P.
