Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CRL 1584 isolated from a bullfrog hatchery produces a bacteriocin that inhibits both indigenous Citrobacter freundii (a Red-Leg Syndrome related pathogen) and Lactobacillus plantarum, and Listeria monocytogenes as well. Considering that probiotics requires high cell densities and/or bacteriocin concentrations, the effect of the temperature on L. lactis growth and bacteriocin production was evaluated to find the optimal conditions. Thus, the growth rate was maximal at 36 °C, whereas the highest biomass and bacteriocin activity was achieved between 20 and 30 °C and 20–25 °C, respectively. The bacteriocin synthesis was closely growth associated reaching the maximal values at the end of the exponential phase. Since bacteriocins co-production has been evidenced in bacterial genera, a purification of the bacteriocin/s from L. lactis culture supernatants was carried out. The active fraction was purified by cationic-exchange chromatography and then, a RP-HPLC was carried out. The purified sample was a peptide with a 3353.05 Da, a molecular mass that matches nisin Z, which turned out to be the only bacteriocin produced by L. lactis CRL 1584. Nisin Z showed bactericidal effect on C. freundii and L. monocytogenes, which increased in the presence l-lactic acid?+?H2O2. This is the first report on nisin Z production by L. lactis from a bullfrog hatchery that resulted active on a Gram-negative pathogen. This peptide has potential probiotic for raniculture and as food biopreservative for bullfrog meat.  相似文献

The aim of this work was to purify and characterize the bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis KT2W2L previously isolated from mangrove forests in southern Thailand, in order to evaluate its potential as new food protective agent. The active peptide from the cell-free supernatant of this strain was purified in 4 steps: (1) precipitation with 70 % saturated ammonium sulfate, (2) elution on a reversed-phase cartridge using different concentrations of acetonitrile, (3) cation-exchange chromatography and (4) final purification by reversed-phase HPLC on a C8 column. The molecular mass of 3,329.5254 Da of the purified bacteriocin, determined by mass spectrometry, is nearly identical to that of peptide nisin Z. The activity of the purified bacteriocin was unaffected by pH (2.0–10.0), thermostable but was sensitive to proteolytic enzymes. The bacteriocin activity was stable after 8 weeks of storage at ?20 °C and 7 weeks of storage at 4 °C, but decreased after 3 weeks of storage at 37 °C. It was stable when incubated for 1 month at 4 °C in 0–30 % NaCl. Inhibitory spectrum of this bacteriocin showed a wide range of activity against similar bacterial strains, food-spoilage and food-borne pathogens. L. lactis subsp. lactis KT2W2L was sensitive to kanamycin, penicillin and tetracycline but resistant to ampicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin. The fragment obtained after amplification of genomic DNA from L. lactis subsp. lactis KT2W2L, with specific primers for bacteriocin genes, presented 99 % homology to the nisin Z gene. PCR amplification demonstrated that L. lactis subsp. lactis KT2W2L does not harbor virulence genes cylA, cylB, efaAfs and esp. The bacteriocin and its producing strain may find application as bio-preservatives for reduction in food-spoilage and food-borne pathogens in food products.  相似文献

This paper describes the production, the purification and the antilisterial activity of amylolysin, a novel bacteriocin from B. amyloliquefaciens GA1. The strain genome was first analysed using PCR techniques for the presence of gene clusters that direct the synthesis of characterised bacteriocins from B. amyloliquefaciens and the closely related B. subtilis. Our results suggest that amylolysin corresponds to a novel bacteriocin. The effect of amylolysin on the growth of different isolates of Listeria monocytogenes was evaluated in poultry meat during 21 days of storage at 4 °C. A potent antilisterial effect was observed for all the indicator strains tested, demonstrating that amylolysin is a novel bacteriocin that could be used as a food preservative.  相似文献

Lactobacillus plantarum 510, previously isolated from a koshu vineyard in Japan, was found to produce a bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance which was purified and characterized. Mass spectrometry analysis showed that the mass of this bacteriocin is 4,296.65 Da. A partial sequence, NH2- SSSLLNTAWRKFG, was obtained by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. A BLAST search revealed that this is a unique sequence; this peptide is thus a novel bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum 510 and was termed plantaricin Y. Plantaricin Y shows strong inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes BCRC 14845, but no activity against other pathogens tested. Bacteriocin activity decreased slightly after autoclaving (121 °C for 15 min), but was completely inactivated by protease K. Furthermore, trypsin-digested bacteriocin product fragments retained activity against L. monocytogenes BCRC 14845 and exhibited a different inhibitory spectrum.  相似文献

Lactobacillus plantarum B391, a strain isolated from an artisanal French cheese, is a producer of a bacteriocin, expressing activity against Enterococcus faecalis NCTC 775, Clostridium perfringens NCTC 13170 and several Listeria monocytogenes strains. High stability was recorded after heat treatment at 121 °C for 20 min and when stored at 4 °C for more than 40 days. A challenge test performed in milk for 11 days showed potential for the control of L. monocytogenes. In the presence of the lytic bacteriocin B391, L. monocytogenes cells present numerous morphology modifications of cell shape and surface structure as well as in the cell division pattern, resulting ultimately in lysis. The high level of Listeria growth inhibition obtained in the presence of Lb. plantarum B391, and the stability of B391 bacteriocin for a long period of time, make this strain potentially interesting to use in milk products to increase food safety.  相似文献

Six lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, Lactococcus lactis BFE 920, L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454, L. lactis subsp. cremoris ATCC 14365, Lactobacillus curvatus L442, Lact. curvatus LTH 1174, and Lact. bavaricus MN, were grown in cheddar cheese whey supplemented with complex nutrient sources. Cell-free culture supernatants were freeze-dried, and the resulting bacteriocin-containing powders were applied on the surface of hot dogs that were inoculated (~4 log cfu/hot dog) with a five-strain Listeria monocytogenes cocktail. Hot dogs were vacuum-sealed and stored at 4 °C for 4 weeks. L. monocytogenes was enumerated, using both tryptic soy agar (TSA) and oxford listeria agar (OXA), on day 0 and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of the refrigerated storage. In hot dogs containing only the L. monocytogenes inoculum, L. monocytogenes counts increased from 4 up to 7 log cfu/hot dog. All samples containing freeze-dried bacteriocin-containing powders exhibited significantly lowered (P < 0.05) L. monocytogenes populations on the surface of hot dogs throughout the 4-week study except for bavaricin MN powder. Bacterial counts on hot dogs packed without any powder were statistically equal on day 0 when enumerated on OXA. Freeze-dried bacteriocin-containing powders from Lact. curvatus L442 and L. lactis subsp. cremoris ATCC 14365 decreased L. monocytogenes populations on the surface of hot dogs by greater than 2 log cfu/hot dog throughout the 4-week study. For the powdered bacteriocin preparations from L. lactis BFE 920, L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454, and Lact. curvatus LTH 1174, L. monocytogenes populations were determined to be approximately 3-log cfu/hot dog after 4 weeks of storage.  相似文献

The effect of pH and temperature on cell growth and bacteriocin production in Lactococcus lactis C7 was investigated in order to optimize the production of bacteriocin. The study showed that the bacteriocin production was growth-associated, but declined after reaching the maximum titer. The decrease of bacteriocin was caused by a cell-bound protease. Maximum bacteriocin titer was obtained at pH 5.5 and at 22°C. In order to obtain a global optimized solution for production of bacteriocin, the optimal temperature for bacteriocin production was further studied. Mathematical models were developed for cell growth, substrate consumption, lactic acid production and bacteriocin production. A Differential Evolution algorithm was used both to estimate the model parameters from the experimental data and to compute a temperature profile for maximizing the final bacteriocin titer and bacteriocin productivity. This simulation showed that maximum bacteriocin production was obtained at the optimal temperature profile, starting at 30°C and terminating at 22°C, which was validated by experiment. This temperature profile yielded 20% higher maximum bacteriocin productivity than that obtained at a constant temperature of 22°C, although the total amount of bacteriocin obtained was slightly decreased.  相似文献

Enterococcus sp. 812, isolated from fresh broccoli, was previously found to produce a bacteriocin active against a number of Gram-positive bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes. Bacteriocin activity decreased slightly after autoclaving (121 °C for 15 min), but was inactivated by protease K. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed the bacteriocin mass to be approximately 4,521.34 Da. N-terminal amino acid sequencing yielded a partial sequence, NH2-ATYYGNGVYXDKKKXWVEWGQA, by Edman degradation, which contained the consensus class IIa bacteriocin motif YGNGV in the N-terminal region. The obtained partial sequence showed high homology with some enterococcal bacteriocins; however, no identical peptide or protein was found. This peptide was therefore considered to be a novel bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus sp. 812 and was termed enterocin T.  相似文献

A total of 181 ready-to-eat poultry meat samples were examined for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, and 11 (6 %) were found to have S. aureus contamination. Of 11 S. aureus isolates, 10 (91 %) were resistant to at least one antibiotic used in this study, and 2 were resistant to oxacillin. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis was tested as a bio-control agent. All the S. aureus isolates were found to be sensitive to antimicrobial products in L. lactis subsp. lactis supernatants; the zones of inhibition were in the range of 5.0 mm?±?0.70 mm to 19.8 mm?±?0.83 mm with the majority of isolates. As a competitive flora in mixed culture (LAPTg broth) and protective culture in poultry meat, L. lactis subsp. lactis was effective against S. aureus isolates; the growth of S. aureus isolates was almost negative after 32 h incubation in mixed culture. The population of S. aureus was reduced substantially to almost log 1 CFU/g after 25 days of incubation in protective culture. The pH of the test cultures also decreased sharply with time.  相似文献

A bacteriocin producing strain Lactobacillus brevis UN isolated from Dulliachar—a salted pickle and identified by biochemical and molecular methods. L. brevis UN was found to produce bacteriocin with broad spectrum activity against spoilage causing/food borne pathogens viz. L. monocytogenes, C. perfringens, S. aureus, L. mesenteroides, L. plantarum and B. cereus. Bacteriocin production was optimized through classical one variable at a time method. The isolate showed maximum bacteriocin production at early stationary phase, pH 4.0, temperature 35 °C and with an inoculum size of 1.5 OD @ 10 %. Bacteriocin produced by L. brevis UN was purified to homogeneity by single step gel exclusion chromatography and was most active at pH 6.0 and 7.0, stable up to 100 °C and was proteinaceous in nature. The results of NMR revealed the presence of proline, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, isoleucine and serine in its peptide structure. PCR amplification analysis determined that bacteriocin encoded gene in L. brevis UN was plasmid bound.  相似文献

After enrichment of Odontesthes platensis intestinal contents, 53 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated. From the four isolates that showed inhibitory activity against Lactococcus garvieae 03/8460, strain TW34 was selected because it exerted the strongest inhibition. It also inhibited other Gram-positive bacteria, but not Gram-negative fish pathogens. Phenotypic and 16S rDNA phylogenetic analyses showed that TW34 belongs to Lactococcus lactis. In addition, TW34 showed to be sensitive to different antibiotics. The production of the inhibitory agent against L. garvieae was growth associated, and it was significantly influenced by the incubation temperature. The optimal temperature for the antimicrobial production was as low as 15°C. Both acidification and hydrogen peroxide production were ruled out as the source of inhibition. In contrast, the antimicrobial activity was completely lost by treatment with proteolytic enzymes, which confirmed that the inhibitory substance was a bacteriocin. The bacteriocin was highly thermostable (121°C for 15 min) and active between pH 3 and 11. It remained stable for up to 2 months when stored at 4°C and up to 6 months at −20°C. Our results suggest that the strain L. lactis TW34 could provide an alternative for lactococcosis control and therefore be considered for future challenge experiments with fish.  相似文献

Current mathematical models used by food microbiologists do not address the issue of competitive growth in mixed cultures of bacteria. We developed a mathematical model which consists of a system of nonlinear differential equations describing the growth of competing bacterial cell cultures. In this model, bacterial cell growth is limited by the accumulation of protonated lactic acid and decreasing pH. In our experimental system, pure and mixed cultures of Lactococcus lactis and Listeria monocytogenes were grown in a vegetable broth medium. Predictions of the model indicate that pH is the primary factor that limits the growth of L. monocytogenes in competition with a strain of L. lactis which does not produce the bacteriocin nisin. The model also predicts the values of parameters that affect the growth and death of the competing populations. Further development of this model will incorporate the effects of additional inhibitors, such as bacteriocins, and may aid in the selection of lactic acid bacterium cultures for use in competitive inhibition of pathogens in minimally processed foods.  相似文献

Lactococcus lactis subsp. diacitilactis S50 produces a bacteriocin, designated bacteriocin S50, which has a narrow antibacterial spectrum. It was active only against Lactococcus species, including a nisin producer exhibiting a bactericidal effect. The activity of bacteriocin S50 was sensitive to proteases. It retained antimicrobial activity after being heated to 100°C for up to 60 min and in the pH range 2 to 11.  相似文献

The bacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus plantarum BFE 5092 was assessed for its potential as a protective culture in the biopreservation of aerobically stored turkey meat. This strain produces three bacteriocins, i.e. plantaricins EF, JK and N. The absolute expression of Lactobacillus plantarum BFE 5092 16S rRNA housekeeping gene, as well as l-ldh, plnEF and plnG genes as determined by quantitative, real-time-PCR, revealed that these genes were expressed to similar levels when the strain was grown at 8 and 30 °C in MRS broth. On turkey meat, Lactobacillus plantarum BFE 5092 did not grow but survived, as indicated by similar viable cell numbers during a 9-day storage period at 8 °C. When inoculated at 1 × 107 CFU/g on the turkey meat and subsequently stored at 10 °C, the culture did again not show good growth. Lactobacillus plantarum BFE 5092 could not inhibit the growth of naturally occurring listeriae or Gram-negative bacteria on the turkey meat at 10 °C, or that of Listeria monocytogenes when it was co-inoculated at a level of 1 × 105 CFU/g. Gene expression analyses showed that the bacteriocin genes were expressed on turkey meat stored at 10 °C. Moreover, the investigation into the absolute expression of the three plantaricin genes of Lactobacillus plantarum BFE 5092 in co-culture with Listeria monocytogenes on turkey meat by qRT-PCR showed that the plantaricin genes were indeed expressed during the low-temperature storage condition. The Lactobacillus plantarum BFE 5092 strain overall could not effectively inhibit L. monocytogenes and therefore it would not make a suitable protective culture for biopreservation of turkey meat stored aerobically at low temperature.  相似文献

Lacticin 3147 is a broad-spectrum bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis DPC3147 (M. P. Ryan, M. C. Rea, C. Hill, and R. P. Ross, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 62:612–619, 1996). Partial purification of the bacteriocin by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and reverse-phase fast protein liquid chromatography revealed that two components are required for full activity. Lacticin 3147 is bactericidal against L. lactis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Bacillus subtilis; at low concentrations of the bacteriocin, bactericidal activity is enhanced when target cells are energized. This finding suggests that the presence of a proton motive force promotes the interaction of the bacteriocin with the cytoplasmic membrane, leading to the formation of pores at these low lacticin 3147 concentrations. These pores were shown to be selective for K+ ions and inorganic phosphate. The loss of these ions resulted in immediate dissipation of the membrane potential and hydrolysis of internal ATP, leading to an eventual collapse of the pH gradient at the membrane and ultimately to cell death. Our results suggest that lacticin 3147 is a pore-forming bacteriocin which acts on a broad range of gram-positive bacteria.  相似文献

Lactobacillus plantarum JJ18 and Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum JJ60, probiotics from idli batter, produce bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60 having a wide spectrum of activity. After optimising the environmental conditions for bacteriocin production the effect of various media components was determined. Maximum bacteriocin production was observed in MRS broth, pH 6.4 at 37 °C after 36 h. Tryptone (as nitrogen source) and glucose (as carbon source) are required for optimal production of bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60. Activity was not affected by surfactants like Triton X-100, Tween 80 and Tween 20 or by treatment with NaCl, urea and EDTA. Protease treatment resulted in complete loss of activity of the partially purified bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60, while lipase and α-amylase had no effect, indicating that the bacteriocin is a simple protein. Tris tricine SDS-PAGE electrophoresis depicted a single band of less than 3.5 kDa. However, the strain Lactobacillus plantarum JJ18 was inhibited by bacteriocin JJ60 and Lactobacillus plantarum JJ60 by bacteriocin JJ18, whereas no inhibition was observed against the respective producer strains, indicating that the two bacteriocins are different. The bacteriocins remained active over a wide range of pH and temperature. The bacteriocins were able to adsorb onto producer and target cells, Lactobacillus plantarum and Listeria monocytogenes and differentially in the presence of various surfactants, salts and solvents. A bactericidal mode of action was observed against Listeria monocytogenes. Given their wide spectrum of activity against various pathogens, the bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60 can be applied as bio-preservatives in the food industry.  相似文献

Lysozyme (1,4-β-N-acetylmuramidase) is a lytic enzyme, which degrades the bacterial cell wall. Lysozyme has been of interest in medicine, cosmetics, and food industries because of its anti-bactericidal effect. Kluyveromyces lactis K7 is a genetically modified organism that expresses human lysozyme. There is a need to improve the human lysozyme production by K. lactis K7 to make the human lysozyme more affordable. Biofilm reactor provides high biomass by including a solid support, which microorganisms grow around and within. Therefore, the aim of this study was to produce the human lysozyme in biofilm reactor and optimize the growth conditions of K. lactis K7 for the human lysozyme production in biofilm reactor with plastic composite support (PCS). The PCS, which includes polypropylene, soybean hull, soybean flour, bovine albumin, and salts, was selected based on biofilm formation on PCS (CFU/g), human lysozyme production (U/ml), and absorption of lysozyme inside the support. To find the optimum combination of growth parameters, a three-factor Box–Behnken design of response surface method was used. The results suggested that the optimum conditions for biomass and lysozyme productions were different (27 °C, pH 6, 1.33 vvm for biomass production; 25 °C, pH 4, no aeration for lysozyme production). Then, different pH and aeration shift strategies were tested to increase the biomass at the first step and then secrete the lysozyme after the shift. As a result, the lysozyme production amount (141 U/ml) at 25 °C without pH and aeration control was significantly higher than the lysozyme amount at evaluated pH and aeration shift conditions (p?<?0.05).  相似文献

The regulation of the synthesis of bacteriocin produced by the recombinant strain Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis F-116 has been studied. The synthesis is regulated by the components of the fermentation medium, the content of inorganic phosphate (KH2PO4), yeast autolysate (source of amine nitrogen), and changes in carbohydrates and amino acids. The strain was obtained by fusion of protoplasts derived from two related L. lactis subsp. lactis strains, both exhibiting a weak ability to synthesize the bacteriocin nisin. Decreasing the content of KH2PO4 from 2.0 to 1.0 or 0.5% caused bacteriocin production to go down from 4100 to 2800 or 1150 IU/ml, respectively; the base fermentation medium contained 1.0% glucose, 0.2% NaCl, 0.02% MgSO4, and yeast autolysate (an amount corresponding to 35 mg % ammonium nitrogen). The substitution of sucrose for glucose (as the source of carbon) increased the antibiotic activity by 26%, and the addition of isoleucine, by 28.5%. Elevation of the concentration of yeast autolysate in the low-phosphate fermentation medium stimulated both the growth of the lactococci and the synthesis of bacteriocin. Introduction of 1% KH2PO4, yeast autolysate (an amount corresponding to 70 mg % ammonium nitrogen), 2.0% sucrose, and 0.1% isoleucine increased the bacteriocin-producing activity of the strain by 2.4 times.  相似文献

The use of synthetic genes may constitute a successful approach for the heterologous production and functional expression of bacterial antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) by recombinant yeasts. In this work, synthetic genes with adapted codon usage designed from the mature amino acid sequence of the bacteriocin enterocin A (EntA), produced by Enterococcus faecium T136, and the mature bacteriocin E 50-52 (BacE50-52), produced by E. faecium NRRL B-32746, were synthesized. The synthetic entA and bacE50-52 were cloned into the protein expression vectors pPICZαA and pKLAC2 for transformation of derived vectors into Pichia pastoris X-33 and Kluyveromyces lactis GG799, respectively. The recombinant vectors were linearized and transformed into competent cells selecting for P. pastoris X-33EAS (entA), P. pastoris X-33BE50-52S (bacE50-52), K. lactis GG799EAS (entA), and K. lactis GG799BE50-52S (bacE50-52). P. pastoris X-33EAS and K. lactis GG799EAS, but not P. pastoris X-33BE50-52S and K. lactis GG799BE50-52S, showed antimicrobial activity in their supernatants. However, purification of the supernatants of the producer yeasts permitted recovery of the bacteriocins EntA and BacE50-52. Both purified bacteriocins were active against Gram-positive bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes but not against Gram-negative bacteria, including Campylobacter jejuni.  相似文献

The Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 194-K strain has been established to be able to produce two bacteriocins, one of which was identified as the known lantibiotic nisin A, and the other 194-D bacteriocin represents a polypeptide with a 2589-Da molecular mass and comprises 20 amino acid residues. Both bacteriocins were produced in varying proportions in all of the studied culture media, which support the growth of the producer. Depending on the cultivation medium, the nisin A content was 380- to 1123-fold lower in the 194-K stain culture broth than that of the 194-D peptide. In comparision to nisin A Bacteriocin 194-D possessed a wide range of antibacterial activity and suppressed the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. An optimal medium for 194-D bacteriocin synthesis was shown to be a fermentation medium which contained yeast extract, casein hydrolysate, and potassium phosphate. The biosynthesis of bacteriocin 194-D by the 194-K strain in these media occurred parallel to producer growth, and its maximal accumulation in the culture broth was observed at14–20 h of the strain’s growth.  相似文献
