Resumé : 

Bacillus subtilis exerts an inhibitory effect on moulds isolated from red sorghum raw grain. The total fungal count reduction time course, affected by the dilution of B. subtilis culture, follows a sigmoidal function type. Therefore, one can distinguish three zones: a first zone of high inhibition, where the dilution of B. subtilis culture does not greatly affect the steeping treatment on reducing mould growth (DF > minID); a second zone of dilution where the inhibitory effect of the steeping treatment is almost proportional to the dilution of the B. subtilis culture (MaxID < DF < minID); and a third zone of dilution where treatment is simply ineffective i.e., no significant reduction in total fungal count upon increasing the concentration of B. subtilis (DF < MaxID). Steeping in the biocontrol allows malt production with a low level of fungal contamination, relatively low malting losses and high β-glucanase levels. When compared with dilute alkaline steeping, the biocontrol treatments result in malts with low α- and β-amylase activities and a relatively high content of total phenolic compounds and condensed tannins. Bacillus subtilis dilution has been found to significantly affect kilned malt enzyme activities depending on the type of enzyme studied.
