The use of whey as a natural culture medium to produce hydrolysates with antimicrobial from Bacillus clausii is the objective of this research. The fermentation process was carried out at 25 ℃ for five days, where proteolytic activity, soluble peptides quantification, and antimicrobial activity using the disc diffusion method were determined every day. The fermented whey reached values of proteolytic activity between 90 and 260 U ml−1 and a production of soluble peptides between 100 and 2070 µg ml−1. The maximum values were reached after three days of fermentation to all determinations. In addition, the inhibition zone of fermented whey against Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Enterococcus faecalis strains were 13.7, 13.2, 14.4, 14.6, 9.8, 15.7 mm, respectively. The hydrolysates inhibited the 2, 2’-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals by 85 and 80%, respectively. The whey was used to allow the growth of B. clausii and to generate peptides with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity through the hydrolysis of proteins present in the natural culture medium. This process could be used for the development of new dairy products added with probiotics.
