The in vitro influence of three prebiotics viz. mannitol, maltodextrin and sorbitol was evaluated on probiotic aspects like bile salt tolerance, cholesterol lowering efficiency and bacteriocin production of the strain, Pediococcus acidilactici LAB 5 which was isolated from vacuum packed fermented meat product. Optimum temperature for bacteriocin production in MRS medium was 37°C. The strain deconjugated bile salt (sodium taurocholate) to 607.66 ± 10.894 μg/ml from initial bile salt concentration 3 mg/ml. In vitro cholesterol removal capability of the strain P. acidilactici LAB 5 was 62 ± 2.742 μg/ml. Prebiotic sorbitol had a positive influence on the probiotic parameters like better cell growth, bacteriocin production and cholesterol removal capability. Anaerobic condition had influenced largely on bile salt deconjugation, cholesterol removal and bacteriocin production. Synbiotic treatment of P. acidilactici LAB 5 with sorbitol for 1 month lowered the plasma cholesterol level to 176.34 ± 12.66 μg/ml in comparison to untreated one (208.76 ± 20.27 μg/ml) in Swiss albino mice. Intestinal adherence of P. acidilactici LAB 5 was also more in synbiotic condition than only in probiotic and control treatments.  相似文献

Summary A strain of Pediococcus acidilactici CFR K7 isolated from cucumber, produced an antimicrobial peptide which acted against Leuconostoc mesenteroides, selected strains of Lactobacillus spp., Pediococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp. The partially purified bacteriocin had molecular weight of ~4.6 kDa, heat stability in a range of 40–121 °C and was active over a wide range of pH (2.0–9.0). This bacteriocin possessed strong antilisterial activity and was susceptible to proteolytic enzymes. Southern hybridization using the PCR-generated pedA probe established that the gene for the bacteriocin was plasmid-borne as in the case of pediocin PA-1. Nucleotide sequence of the pedAB gene indicated 100% homology to a pediocin AcH/PA-1. Certain bacteriocinogenic strains isolated from naturally fermented cucumber were tested by colony hybridization using the pedA gene probe. Nine out of twenty colonies reacted with the probe indicating their ability to produce the pediocin-like bacteriocin. These nine colonies were further tested for their antimicrobial spectrum, proteolytic inactivation and plasmid profile. It was found that a few of them were active against Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus and Listeria monocytogenes. Their proteolytic inactivation showed that the antimicrobial compound was susceptible to proteinase K. Colony hybridization could thus enable rapid detection of pediocin and pediocin-like bacteriocin producers among a population of bacteriocinogenic strains.  相似文献

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are possessing ability to synthesize antimicrobial compounds (like bacteriocin) during their growth. In this regard, novel bacteriocin compound secreting capability of LAB isolated from Tulum Cheese in Turkey was demonstrated. The synthesized bacteriocin was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis and gel filtration. The molecular weight (≈3.4 kDa) of obtained bacteriocin was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, which revealed single peptide band. Molecular identification of LAB strain isolated from Tulum Cheese was conducted using 16S rDNA gene sequencing as Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis LL171. The amino acid sequences (KKIDTRTGKTMEKTEKKIELSLKNMKTAT) of the bacteriocin from Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis LL171 was found unique and novel than reported bacteriocins. Further, the bacteriocin was possessed the thermostable property and active at wide range of pH values from 1 to 11. Thus, bacteriocin reported in this study has the potential applications property as food preservative agent.  相似文献

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species isolated from limed and delimed tannery fleshings (TF) were evaluated for their fermentation efficiency and antibacterial property. The native LAB isolates efficiently fermented TF and resulted in a fermented mass with antioxidant properties, indicating their potential for effective eco-friendly bioconversion of TF. From among the LAB isolated, a proteolytic isolate showing better antimicrobial spectrum and reasonably good fermentation efficiency was identified as Enterococcus faecium HAB01 based on various biochemical and molecular tests. This isolate afforded a better degree of hydrolysis (81.36%) of TF than Pediococcus acidilactici (54.64%) that was previously reported by us. The bacteriocin produced by E. faecium was found to be antagonistic to several human pathogens including Listeria, Aeromonas, Staphylococcus and Salmonella. Further, E. faecium HAB01 bacteriocin was thermostable and had a molecular weight of around 5 kDa, apart from being stable at both acidic and alkaline conditions. The bacteriocin was unstable against proteases.  相似文献

A screen of thermophilic lactic acid bacteria identified Streptococcus thermophilus strain ST110 as the putative producer of a bacteriocin with high level of activity against pediococci. Thermophilin 110 was isolated from culture supernatant after 16 h of growth and partially purified by a chloroform extraction procedure. The bacteriocin inhibited the growth of several lactic acid bacteria and in the case of Pediococcus acidilactici, it induced cell lysis with the concomitant release of OD260 - absorbing material and intracellular enzymes. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed two components with estimated sizes between 4.0 kDa and 4.5 kDa, respectively, with possible involvement in bacteriocin activity as indicated by agar overlay assays with P. acidilactici as the target organism. Thermophilin 110 was inactivated by several proteolytic enzymes and also by α-amylase, which indicated the putative requirement of a glycosidic component for activity. The bacteriocin produced by S. thermophilus may be especially useful in the food processing industries to control spoilage caused by pediococci.  相似文献

Summary Sixteen pediococcal strains, including eleven Pediococcus acidilactici and five P. pentosaceus strains were screened for inhibitory potential using a deferred overlay spot method against a limited collection of foodborne pathogens. Of those screened, P. acidilactici PC, an organism isolated from fermented sausage, was effective and subsequently screened for inhibitory potential against 46 foodborne pathogens and 28 other lactic acid bacteria. Strain PC produced an antimicrobial agent capable of inhibiting members of the genera Listeria, Clostridium, Leuconostoc and Pediococcus. Gram-negative microorganisms from seven genera, Lactococcus, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus strains were unaffected by the inhibitory substance. The inhibitory agent was sensitive to proteolytic enzymes and exhibited a bactericidal mode of action, confirming the identity as a bacteriocin. In addition, the partially purified bacteriocin was thermally stable up to 100°C for 60 min and maintained inhibitory potential over a wide range of pH values. Plasmid curing studies suggested linkage of bacteriocin production to a 5.5-MDa plasmid. Plasmid profiles were identical for P. acidilactici PC, PAC1.0 and PO2. Genetic analysis of total genomic DNA via DNA fingerprinting and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) typing provided further evidence that these strains were identical. DNA fingerprinting and rRNA typing also showed utility in discrimination between and within other species of pediococci.Published as paper no. 19574 of the contribution series of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station Correspondence to: S.

Pediococcus acidilactici is a widely used probiotic, and Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum (SG) is a significant pathogen in the poultry industry. In this study, we improved the antimicrobial activity of P. acidilactici against SG using UV mutation and genome shuffling (GS). To improve antimicrobial activity against SG, UV mutagenesis was performed against wild-type P. acidilactici (WT), and five mutants showed improved antimicrobial activity. To further improve antimicrobial activity, GS was performed on five UV mutants. Following GS, four mutants showed improved antimicrobial activity compared with the UV mutants and WT. The antimicrobial activity of GS1 was highest among the mutants; however, the activity was reduced when the culture supernatant was treated with proteinase K, suggesting that the improved antimicrobial activity is due to a proteinous substance such as bacteriocin. To validate the activity of GS1 in vivo, we designed multi-species probiotics and performed broiler feeding experiments. Groups consisted of no treatment (NC), avilamycin-treated (PC), probiotic group 1 containing WT (T1), and probiotic group 2 containing GS1 (T2). In broiler feeding experiments, coliform bacteria were significantly reduced in T2 compared with NC, PC, and T1. The cecal microbiota was modulated and pathogenic bacteria were reduced by GS1 oral administration. In this study, GS1 showed improved antimicrobial activity against SG in vitro and reduced pathogenic bacteria in a broiler feeding experiment. These results suggest that GS1 can serve as an efficient probiotic, as an alternative to antibiotics in the poultry industry.

The main aim of this work was the identification of genetic determinants involved in bacteriocin production by strain ITM317 of Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi, besides bacteriocin characterization. The bacteriocin was observed to be a heat-sensitive, high molecular weight proteinaceous compound. We identified a transposon (Tn5)-induced mutant which had lost its ability to produce the bacteriocin. The Tn5 insertion’s responsibility for the above mutated phenotype was demonstrated by marker-exchange mutagenesis. An EcoRI DNA fragment, corresponding to the EcoRI Tn5-containing fragment of the mutant, was also cloned from the wild-type strain, and its introduction into the mutant complemented the mutation. Moreover, that fragment enabled bacteriocin production by P. s. pv. savastanoi ITM302, a strain not previously capable of doing so. DNA sequence analysis revealed that Tn5 insertion occurred in the mutant within a large ORF encoding a protein which showed similarity with proteins from the Rhs family. The DNA region including that ORF showed features which have been considered typical of the Rhs genetic elements previously identified in other bacteria but whose function is as yet unclear. The results of this study for the first time identify an Rhs-like element in P. s. pv. savastanoi, and for the first time indicate that an Rhs element is involved in bacteriocin production, also suggesting this possible function for Rhs genetic elements previously characterized in other bacteria.  相似文献

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known to produce various types of bacteriocins, ribosomally synthesized polypeptides, which have antibacterial spectrum against many food borne pathogens. Listeria monocytogenes, a pathogenic bacterium, is of particular concern to the food industry because of its ability to grow even at refrigeration temperatures and its tolerance to preservative agents. Some of the bacteriocins of LAB are known to have anti-listerial property. In the present study, the bacteriocin produced by vancomycin sensitive Enterococcus faecium El and J4 isolated from idli batter samples was characterized. The isolates were found to tolerate high temperatures of 60°C for 15 and 30 min and 70°C for 15 min. The bacteriocin was found to be heat stable and had anti-listerial activity. The bacteriocin did not lost anti-listerial activity when treated at 100°C for 30 min or at 121°C for 15 min. The bacteriocin lost its antimicrobial activity after treating with trypsin, protinase-K, protease and peptidase.  相似文献

Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by several bacterial species. Among the bacteriocins pediocin-like bacteriocins have a significant inhibitory activity on the foodborne pathogens especially on Listeria monocytogenes. This study aims to select a simple and usable purification method to purify/concentrate the antimicrobial peptide and characterization of the bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici 13 by using proteomic approaches which is a recent omic technology. For purification dialysis, ultrafiltration method was used, and as a result of this study the bacteriocin activity reached 819,200 AU/mL from 102,400 AU/mL initially. Two dimensional gel electrophoresis and then matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis were carried out to identify the current bacteriocin and related proteins. Obtained data revealed similarity to pediocin PA-1 transport/processing ATP-binding protein PedD (accession number: P36497), pediocin operon PedC (accession number: Q68GC4) and bacteriocin pediocin PA-1 (accession number: P29430) from UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot databank, thus the bacteriocin produced by P. acidilactici 13 is considered similar to pediocin PA-1.  相似文献

This study aims to explore novel lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from breast-fed infants' faeces towards characterizing their antimicrobial compound, bacteriocin. The LAB, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei F9-02 showed strong antimicrobial activity against clinical pathogens. Their proteinaceous nature was confirmed as the activity was completely abolished when treated with proteinaceous enzymes and retained during neutral pH and catalase treatment. The purified bacteriocin showed antimicrobial activity at the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 7.56 μg/ml against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus sp. [vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE)], and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 15.13 μg/ml against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype typhi and 30.25 μg/ml against Shigella flexneri. Present study also proved the bactericidal, non-cytotoxic and non-hemolytic nature of bacteriocin. Additionally, bacteriocin retained their stability under various physico-chemical conditions, broad range of pH (2–10), temperature (40–121°C), enzymes (amylase, lipase and lysozyme), surfactants [Tween-20, 80, 100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)], metal ions (CaCl2, FeSO4, ZnSO4, MgSO4, MnSO4, CuCl2) and NaCl (2%–8%). The molecular weight of bacteriocin (~28 kDa) was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), functional and active groups were assessed by Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR). To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting L. paracasei from breast-fed infants' faeces and assessing their antimicrobial compound, bacteriocin. The study results furnish the essential features to confirm the therapeutic potential of L. paracasei F9-02 bacteriocin.  相似文献

The effects of various parameters on production and activity of mesenterocin 5, a bacteriocin produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides UL5, were investigated. Titres of bacteriocin and minimum inhibitory concentration values were determined by a critical dilution micromethod, using a sensitive strain of Listeria ivanovii as an indicator. Production of the antimicrobial compound was optimal at 37 and 40°C after 9 h of incubation, and was maximized in an aerobic fermentor maintained at pH 5.0. Tween 80 was a major factor in increasing mesenteroxin 5 production and specific production. Large quantities of bacteriocin could be obtained in whey and in whey permeate supplemented with yeast extract in the presence of the surfactant (0.1%). Most of the Listeria strains tested including L. monocytogenes were highly sensitive to the bacteriocin in the pH range 5.5 to 6.0 and at a temperature of 20 to 25°C.  相似文献

The new bacteriocin is produced from Bacillus lentus NG121 isolated from Khameera – a traditional fermented food from Himachal Pradesh, India which has been reported for the first time in the literature to produce bacteriocin and exhibited very high activity units of 20 × 105 AU (Arbitrary Units)/ml. This bacteriocin was partially purified and was further characterized to assess its preservation characteristics. It showed strong antimicrobial activity against the most challenging and serious test indicators like Listeria monocytogens and Staphylococcus aureus. There was a drastic decrease up to 70% in viable cells of the indicators within the first 10 h of adding partially purified bacteriocin thus proving its bactericidal action. It could withstand the high heat of 100 °C for 10 min of heating time without losing any activity. A wide range of pH tolerance i.e. from 5.0–10.0 was expressed by this bacteriocin. It was found completely sensitive to proteolytic enzyme trypsin. The unique combination of all the above mentioned characteristics makes the bacteriocin of newly isolated Bacillus lentus NG121, a food grade bacteria, highly desirable for preservation of different food items in the food industry.  相似文献

Production of bacteriocin activity designated pediocin PA-1 was associated with the presence of a 6.2-megadalton plasmid in Pediococcus acidilactici PAC1.0. The bacteriocin exhibited activity against P. acidilactici, P. pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei, L. bifermentans, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum. Partial characterization of pediocin PA-1 is described. The molecular weight of pediocin PA-1 was ca. 16,500. Additionally, strain PAC1.0 was found to contain a 23-megadalton plasmid associated with sucrose-fermenting ability.  相似文献

Lactic acid bacteria have received increased attention as a potential food preservative due to their strong antagonistic activity against many food-spoilage and pathogenic organisms. Three Pediococcus species, P. acidilactici NCIM 2292, P. pentosaceous. NCIM 2296 and P. cervisiae NCIM 2171, were evaluated for bacteriocin production. Inhibitory substance were produced during the late growth phase and maximum production occurred at 37 °C after 36–48 h of incubation. Bacteriocins partially purified from these species by cold-acetone precipitation at 0 °C and cell adsorption desorption techniques have a broad inhibitory spectrum against microorganisms, including gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas. Proteolytic enzymes inactivated these peptides, but amylase and lipase did not show any effect. The bacteriocins were stable over a wide pH range (3–8) and apparently most active at pH 4.0–5.0. They were heat-stable (1 h at ~80 °C and autoclaving) at pH 5.0. No loss in activity was observed when stored under refrigeration (4–8 °C). Tris-Tricine SDS-PAGE revealed the molecular masses of these peptides to be between 3.5 and 5.0 kDa.  相似文献

The production of pediocin in milk by Pediococcus acidilactici was evaluated in co-culture with the dairy fermentation cultures Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. The cultures were tested singly and in different combinations in milk (0 or 2% fat content) during incubation at 40°C for up to 10 h. Cell-free milk samples taken every 60 min were tested for bacteriocin activity against Listeria monocytogenes. Pediocin activity was not detectable when P. acidilactici was inoculated into milk as a monoculture. When P. acidilactici was grown in combination with the yogurt starter cultures S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, pediocin concentration reached 3,200–6,400 units ml−1 after 8 h of incubation. The results showed that pediocin producing pediococci may be useful adjunct components in mixed cultures of S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus to amplify the bioprotective properties of fermented dairy foods against Listeria contamination.  相似文献

The influence of temperature, pH and media on bacteriocin production by Bacillus sp. P34 was investigated. The effect of temperature and initial pH was evaluated by factorial design and response surface methodology (RSM). Statistical analysis of results showed that, in the range studied, the two variables have a significant effect on bacteriocin production. Response-surface data showed maximum antimicrobial activity production at initial pH values between 6.0 and 8.0 and temperatures between 25 and 37 °C. No relationship between bacterial growth and bacteriocin production was observed. RSM proved to be a powerful tool in optimizing the production of antimicrobial activity by Bacillus sp. P34. When different media were tested, maximum bacteriocin production was observed in soybean protein-based medium, but antimicrobial activity was not achieved by cultivation on fish meal, feather meal, whey and grape waste.  相似文献

The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are of great interest because of their food grade quality and industrial importance. In the recent past, the pediocin PA-1 like bacteriocin was found to be synthesized in cross-species and cross-genera. Hence, the present work was carried out in order to determine the transfer of plasmid encoded pediocin PA-1 like bacteriocin among LAB. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the dissemination of bacteriocin-encoded plasmid from Pediococcus acidilactici NCIM 5424, Enterococcus faecium NCIM 5423 and Lactobacillus plantarum Acr2 to Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 under in vitro (filter mating method) and in situ (soymilk model) conditions. The fermentation of the soymilk was determined by the selected pediocin producers. E. faecium NCIM 5423 was able to transfer the bacteriocin only under in situ conditions, whereas the native pediocin producer P. acidilactici NCIM 5424 transferred the bacteriocin under both the methods used. The in situ method gave more transfer frequency, ranging from 10?7 to 10?4 transconjugants per recipient cell. No conjugal transfer by L. plantarum Acr2 was observed. The physiological conditions like pH and temperature were found to influence the production of bacteriocin in the obtained transconjugants. The results suggest the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and the natural spread of pediocin PA-1-like bacteriocin among LAB present in their close vicinity by means of conjugation. The dissemination of pediocin PA-1-like bacteriocin under in situ conditions is noteworthy, and such bacteriocin producers can be useful in the fermentation of dairy products and construction of novel cultures.  相似文献

The presence of bacteriocin structural genes (entA, entB, entP, entQ, entAS-48, entL50A/B, bac31, and cylL) encoding different bacteriocins (enterocin A, enterocin B, enterocin P, enterocin Q, enterocin AS-48, enterocin L50A/B, bacteriocin 31 and cytolysin L, respectively), and the production of bacteriocin activity were analysed in 139 E. faecalis and 41 E. faecium clinical isolates of Tunisia. Forty-eight of 139 E. faecalis isolates (34%) and 7 of 41 of E. faecium isolates (17%) were bacteriocin producers. Sixty-two per cent of the bacteriocin-producing enterococci showed inhibitory activity against L. monocytogenes. Different combinations of entA, entB, entP, and entL50A/B genes were detected among the seven bacteriocin-producer E. faecium isolates, and more that one gene were identified in all the isolates. The entA gene was associated in most of the cases with entB gene in E. faecium isolates. Cyl LS were the unique genes detected among E. faecalis (in 24 of 48 bacteriocin-producer isolates, 50%). A β-hemolytic activity was demonstrated in 19 of the 24 cyl LS -positive E. faecalis isolates (79%), this activity being negative in the remaining five isolates. The presence of different bacteriocin structural genes and the production of antimicrobial activities seems to be a common trait of clinical enterococci.  相似文献
