To determine whether pediocin is produced and has effective antilisterial activity during food fermentation, six sausage fermentation trials were conducted with antibiotic-resistant, pediocin-producing (Bac+) Pediococcus acidilactici PAC 1.0 (Strr Rifr) and an isogenic pediocin-negative (Bac-) derivative used as a control. Meat was inoculated (ca. 10(5) CFU/g) with a composite of five Listeria monocytogenes strains, each electrotransformed with pGK12 (Cmr Emr). P. acidilactici and L. monocytogenes populations were selectively enumerated by plating on media with antibiotics. This study indicated that the dry sausage fermentation process can reduce L. monocytogenes populations. Effective inactivation of L. monocytogenes was observed when the pH at the end of the fermentation portion of the process was less than 4.9. Pediocin was responsible for part of the antilisterial activity during the fermentation in each of the six trials. Furthermore, inhibition of L. monocytogenes during drying was enhanced in the presence of pediocin in the three trials in which L. monocytogenes could be detected throughout the drying process. Thus, pediocin production contributed to an increase in safety during both the fermentation and drying portions of sausage manufacturing.  相似文献

Among 1,962 bacterial isolates from a smear-surface soft cheese (Munster cheese) screened for activity against Listeria monocytogenes, six produced antilisterial compounds other than organic acids. The bacterial strain WHE 92, which displayed the strongest antilisterial effect, was identified at the DNA level as Lactobacillus plantarum. The proteinaceous nature, narrow inhibitory spectrum, and bactericidal mode of action of the antilisterial compound produced by this bacterium suggested that it was a bacteriocin. Purification to homogeneity and sequencing of this bacteriocin showed that it was a 4.6-kDa, 44-amino-acid peptide, the primary structure of which was identical to that of pediocin AcH produced by different Pediococcus acidilactici strains. We report the first case of the same bacteriocin appearing naturally with bacteria of different genera. Whereas the production of pediocin AcH from P. acidilactici H was considerably reduced when the final pH of the medium exceeded 5.0, no reduction in the production of pediocin AcH from L. plantarum WHE 92 was observed when the pH of the medium was up to 6.0. This fact is important from an industrial angle. As the pH of dairy products is often higher than 5.0, L. plantarum WHE 92, which develops particularly well in cheeses, could constitute an effective means of biological combat against L. monocytogenes in this type of foodstuff.  相似文献

The pulsed-field technique of clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis was employed to characterize and size genomic DNA of three pediocin-producing (Ped+) and two non-pediocin-producing (Ped-) strains of Pediococcus acidilactici. Comparison of genomic fingerprints obtained by digestion with the low-frequency-cleavage endonuclease AscI revealed identical restriction profiles for four of the five strains analyzed. Summation of results for 10 individually sized AscI fragments estimated the genome length to be 1,861 kb for the four strains (H, PAC1.0, PO2, and JBL1350) with identical fingerprints. Genomic analysis of the pediocin-sensitive, plasmid-free strain P. acidilactici LB42 with the unique fingerprint revealed nine AscI fragments and a genome length of about 2,133 kb. Ped- (JBL1350) and Ped+ (JBL1095) starter cultures (one each) were used to separately prepare turkey summer sausage coinoculated with a four-strain Listeria monocytogenes mixture (ca. 10(5) CFU/g). The starter cultures produced equivalent amounts of acid during fermentation, but counts of L. monocytogenes were reduced to a greater extent in the presence of the Ped+ starter culture (3.4 log10 unit decrease) than in the presence of the Ped- starter culture (0.9 log10 unit decrease). Although no listeriae were recovered from sausages following the cook/shower, appreciable pediocin activity was recovered from sausages prepared with the Ped+ strain for at least 60 days during storage at 4 degrees C. The results of this study revealed genomic similarities among pediococcal starter cultures and established that pediocins produced during fermentation provide an additional measure of safety against listerial proliferation in turkey summer sausage.  相似文献

Muscle, organ, and lymphoid tissues of four Holstein cows experimentally inoculated (intravenously) with Listeria monocytogenes were examined 2, 6, or 54 days postinoculation for the presence of the organism by direct plating and cold enrichment procedures. L. monocytogenes was isolated from 66% of the tissues sampled; 38% of the isolations were attributed to the use of cold enrichment. Isolation of the organism from muscle tissue was possible only with animals inoculated 2 days before slaughter. The fate of L. monocytogenes during the manufacture and storage of fermented hard salami made from this meat also was determined. Three sausage treatments were evaluated: (i) uninoculated control sausage, (ii) "naturally" contaminated sausage (NC) made from meat of an experimentally inoculated cow, and (iii) sausage made from beef inoculated with a laboratory culture of L. monocytogenes (I). Initial Listeria levels in NC and I sausage were 10(3) CFU/g in trial 1 and 10(4) CFU/g in trial 2. Numbers of L. monocytogenes decreased by approximately 1 log10 CFU/g during fermentation and decreased further during drying and refrigerated storage. Small numbers (less than or equal to 20 CFU/g) of L. monocytogenes were present in I and NC sausage at the end of 12 weeks of refrigerated storage; recovery of these organisms generally depended on the use of an enrichment procedure. The results indicate that L. monocytogenes does not multiply during the fermentation and drying processes typical of hard salami manufacture but that survival may occur if the organism is initially present at greater than or equal to 10(3) CFU/g.  相似文献

AIMS: To evaluate the autolytic phenotype of Pediococcus acidilactici and P. pentosaceus, the peptidoglycan hydrolases content and the effect of pediocin AcH/PA-1 and autolysins on cell lysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: The autolytic phenotype of Pediococcus strains was evaluated under starvation conditions in potassium phosphate buffer. The strains tested showed an extent of autolysis ranging between 40 and 90% after 48 h of starvation at 37 degrees C. Peptidoglycan hydrolase content was evaluated by renaturing sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) using cells of Micrococcus lysodeikticus as a target for the enzymatic activity and a major activity band migrating at about 116 kDa was detected. Additional secondary lytic bands migrating in a range of molecular weight between 45 and 110 kDa were also detected. The lytic activity, evaluated in the presence of different chemicals, was retained in 15 mM CaCl2 and in a range of pH between 5 and 9.5 but was strongly reduced in presence of 8% NaCl and in the presence of protease inhibitors. The substrate specificity of peptidoglycan hydrolases of Pediococcus strains was evaluated in renaturing SDS-PAGE incorporating cells of different bacterial species. Lytic activity was detected against cells of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus helveticus and Listeria monocytogenes. The interaction between pediocin AcH/PA-1 and autolysis was evaluated and a relevant effect of bacteriocin in cell-induced lysis was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The autolytic phenotype is widely distributed among P. acidilactici and P. pentosaceus and the rate of autolysis is high in the majority of the analysed strains. Several autolytic bands, detected by renaturing SDS-PAGE, retained their activity against several lactic acid bacteria and L. monocytogenes. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The characterization of the autolytic phenotype of Pediococcus acidilactici and P. pentosaceus strains should expand the knowledge of their role in fermentation processes where these species occur as primary or secondary bacterial population.  相似文献

AIM: Study of the effectiveness of in situ bacteriocin production by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to control Listeria monocytogenes in dry-fermented sausages. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two bacteriocin-producing strains: Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis LMG21206 and Lactobacillus curvatus LBPE were grown in a pilot scale fermentor and lyophilized to be directly used in dry sausage fermentation. A commercial starter culture (Bel'meat SL-25) not inhibitory to L. monocytogenes (Bac- starter) was mixed (1 : 1) with each of the two lyophilized bacteriocin-producing strains to obtain starters active against the pathogen (Bac+ starter). Anti-Listeria effectiveness of the Bac+ starters was studied in dry-fermented sausages. The meat batter was experimentally contaminated with a mixture of four different strains of L. monocytogenes (10(2)-10(3) CFU g(-1)). The results showed that L. monocytogenes did not grow in any of the contaminated batches, but no significant decrease (P > 0.05) was observed either in the positive control (no added starter culture) or in samples fermented with the Bac- starter culture during the fermentation period and up to 15 days of drying. When the Bac+ starter contained Lb. curvatus LBPE, cell counts of L. monocytogenes decreased to below the detectable limit (<10 CFU g(-1)) after 4 h of fermentation and no survivors could be recovered by enrichment beyond day 8 of drying. When the Bac+ starter culture containing Lc. lactis LMG21206 was used, a decrease in Listeria counts to below the detectable limit was achieved after 15 days of drying. CONCLUSIONS: The bacteriocin-producing strains studied may be used as adjunct cultures for sausage fermentations to control the occurrence and survival of L. monocytogenes. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Addition of the Bac+ strains, especially the Lb. curvatus strain would provide an additional hurdle to enhance the control of L. monocytogenes in fermented meat products.  相似文献

Aims:  The aim of this study was to purify and identify the bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici MM33, a strain previously isolated from human gut.
Methods and Results:  Purification of the bacteriocin was performed by cationic exchange chromatography followed by a reverse phase step. Biochemical and mass spectrometry analysis showed homology with pediocin PA-1. To verify if P. acidilactici MM33 carried the pediocin PA-1 gene, total DNA was used to amplify the pediocin gene. The PCR product obtained was then sequenced and the nucleotide sequence revealed to be identical to that of pediocin PA-1. Treatment of P. acidilactici MM33 with novobiocin resulted in a plasmid-cured strain without bacteriocin-producing capacity. Antimicrobial assay and molecular analysis demonstrated that this strain was ped suggesting that the ped cluster is plasmid encoded. Antimicrobial assay revealed that pediocin was bactericidal against Listeria monocytogenes , showing a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 200 AU ml−1.
Conclusions:  A two-step purification procedure was elaborated in this study. The bacteriocin secreted by the human strain P. acidilactici MM33 is carried on a plasmid and the amino acid sequence is identical to pediocin PA-1.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Pediococcus acidilactici MM33 is the first human pediocin-producing strain reported and could be used as probiotic to prevent enteric pathogen colonization.  相似文献

The effect of pediocin JD, a bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici JD1-23, on the proton motive force and proton permeability of resting whole cells of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A was determined. Control cells, treated with trypsin-inactivated bacteriocin at a pH of 5.3 to 6.1, maintained a pH gradient and a membrane potential of approximately 0.65 pH unit and 75 mV, respectively. However, these gradients were rapidly dissipated in cells after exposure to pediocin JD, even though no cell lysis had occurred. The pH gradient and membrane potential of the producer cells were also unaffected by the bacteriocin. Whole cells treated with bacteriocin were twice as permeable to protons as control cells were. The results suggest that the inhibitory action of pediocin JD against L. monocytogenes is directed at the cytoplasmic membrane and that inhibition of L. monocytogenes may be caused by the collapse of one or both of the individual components of the proton motive force.  相似文献

Encapsulation may provide increased stability and antimicrobial efficiency to bacteriocins. In this work, the antilisterial peptide pediocin was encapsulated in nanovesicles prepared from partially purified soybean phosphatidylcholine. The maintenance of antimicrobial activity and properties of free and encapsulated pediocin was observed during 13 days at 4 °C, and after this period, the encapsulated pediocin retained 50 % its initial activity. The maintenance of the bioactive properties of free and encapsulated pediocin was observed against different species of Listeria, inhibiting Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria innocua and Listeria ivanovii. The size of vesicles containing pediocin was determined by dynamic light scattering as an average of 190 nm, with little change throughout the observation period. Polydispersity index values were around 0.201 and are considered satisfactory, indicating an adequate size distribution of liposomes. The efficiency of encapsulation was 80 %. Considering these results, the protocol used was appropriate for the encapsulation of this bacteriocin. Results demonstrate the production of stable nanoparticulate material. The maintenance of the properties of pediocin encapsulated in liposomes is fundamental to prospect the stability in different conditions of the food matrix.  相似文献

The conditions for high production of nisin Z and pediocin during pH-controlled, mixed-strain batch cultures in a supplemented whey permeate medium with Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis UL719, a nisin Z producer strain, and variant T5 of Pediococcus acidilactici UL5, a pediocin-producing strain resistant to high concentrations of nisin, were studied. Mixed cultures were performed at 37 °C and pH 5·5 by first inoculating with variant T5 and then with L. diacetylactis UL719 after 8 h incubation, and were compared with single-strain batch cultures. High productions of both nisin Z and pediocin were obtained after 18 or 16 h incubation during mixed cultures, with titres of 3000 and 730 AU ml−1, or 1060 and 1360 AU ml−1, respectively, corresponding to approximately 75 and 55, or 25 and 100 mg l−1 of pure nisin Z and pediocin, respectively. In pure cultures, nisin Z and pediocin productions were higher than in mixed cultures, and maximum activities were obtained after 10 h incubation, with approximately 10 000 AU ml−1 (250 mg l−1 pure nisin Z) and 2500 AU ml−1 (190 mg l−1 pure pediocin). During mixed cultures, significant pediocin degradation was observed in the culture supernatant fluid after 16 h incubation, together with a sharp drop in Ped. acidilactici UL5 cell viability. In the test conditions, the feasibility of producing a nisin/pediocin mixture by mixed-strain fermentation was demonstrated. The bacteriocin mixture produced in a supplemented whey permeate medium could be used as a natural food-grade biopreservative with a broad activity spectrum.  相似文献

This study demonstrated the capacity of bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to reduce intestinal colonization by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in a mouse model. Lactococcus lactis MM19 and Pediococcus acidilactici MM33 are bacteriocin producers isolated from human feces. The bacteriocin secreted by P. acidilactici is identical to pediocin PA-1/AcH, while PCR analysis demonstrated that L. lactis harbors the nisin Z gene. LAB were acid and bile tolerant when assayed under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. A well diffusion assay using supernatants from LAB demonstrated strong activity against a clinical isolate of VRE. A first in vivo study was done using C57BL/6 mice that received daily intragastric doses of L. lactis MM19, P. acidilactici MM33, P. acidilactici MM33A (a pediocin mutant that had lost its ability to produce pediocin), or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 18 days. This study showed that L. lactis and P. acidilactici MM33A increased the concentrations of total LAB and anaerobes while P. acidilactici MM33 decreased the Enterobacteriaceae populations. A second in vivo study was done using VRE-colonized mice that received the same inocula as those in the previous study for 16 days. In L. lactis-fed mice, fecal VRE levels 1.73 and 2.50 log(10) CFU/g lower than those in the PBS group were observed at 1 and 3 days postinfection. In the P. acidilactici MM33-fed mice, no reduction was observed at 1 day postinfection but a reduction of 1.85 log(10) CFU/g was measured at 3 days postinfection. Levels of VRE in both groups of mice treated with bacteriocin-producing LAB were undetectable at 6 days postinfection. No significant difference in mice fed the pediocin-negative strain compared to the control group was observed. This is the first demonstration that human L. lactis and P. acidilactici nisin- and pediocin-producing strains can reduce VRE intestinal colonization.  相似文献

Biofilms from drains in food processing facilities with a recent history of no detectable Listeria monocytogenes in floor drains were cultured for microorganisms producing antilisterial metabolites. A total of 413 microbial isolates were obtained from 12 drain biofilm samples and were assayed at 15 and 37 degrees C for activities that were bactericidal or inhibitory to L. monocytogenes, by two agar plate assays. Twenty-one of 257 bacterial isolates and 3 of 156 yeast isolates had antilisterial activity. All 24 isolates which produced metabolites inhibitory to L. monocytogenes were assayed for antilisterial activity in coinoculated broth cultures containing tryptic soy broth with yeast extract (TSB-YE). A five-strain mixture of 10(3) CFU of L. monocytogenes/ml and 10(5) CFU of the candidate competitive-exclusion microorganism/ml was combined in TSB-YE and incubated at 37 degrees C for 24 h, 15 degrees C for 14 days, 8 degrees C for 21 days, and 4 degrees C for 28 days. Substantial inhibition of L. monocytogenes growth (4 to 5 log CFU/ml) was observed for nine bacterial isolates at 37 degrees C, two at 15 and 8 degrees C, and three at 4 degrees C. The inhibitory isolates were identified as Enterococcus durans (six isolates), Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (two isolates), and Lactobacillus plantarum (one isolate). The anti-L. monocytogenes activity of these isolates was evaluated in biofilms of L. monocytogenes on stainless steel coupons at 37, 15, 8, and 4 degrees C. Results revealed that two isolates (E. durans strain 152 and L. lactis subsp. lactis strain C-1-92) were highly inhibitory to L. monocytogenes (growth inhibition of >5 log(10) CFU of L. monocytogenes/cm(2)). These two bacterial isolates appear to be excellent competitive-exclusion candidates to control L. monocytogenes in biofilms at environmental temperatures of 4 to 37 degrees C.  相似文献

Sakacin K is an antilisterial bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sake CTC 494, a strain isolated from Spanish dry fermented sausages. The biokinetics of cell growth and bacteriocin production of L. sake CTC 494 in vitro during laboratory fermentations were investigated by making use of MRS broth. The data obtained from the fermentations was used to set up a predictive model to describe the influence of the physical factors temperature and pH on microbial behavior. The model was validated successfully for all components. However, the specific bacteriocin production rate seemed to have an upper limit. Both cell growth and bacteriocin activity were very much influenced by changes in temperature and pH. The production of biomass was closely related to bacteriocin activity, indicating primary metabolite kinetics, but was not the only factor of importance. Acidity dramatically influenced both the production and the inactivation of sakacin K; the optimal pH for cell growth did not correspond to the pH for maximal sakacin K activity. Furthermore, cells grew well at 35 degrees C but no bacteriocin production could be detected at this temperature. L. sake CTC 494 shows special promise for implementation as a novel bacteriocin-producing sausage starter culture with antilisterial properties, considering the fact that the temperature and acidity conditions that prevail during the fermentation process of dry fermented sausages are optimal for the production of sakacin K.  相似文献

Exudative fluids were collected from packages of five brands of all-beef wieners and inoculated to contain 10(4) to 10(5) CFU of a three-strain (Scott A, V7, and 101M) mixture of Listeria monocytogenes per ml. Listeriae were inactivated (decrease of 0.61 to 3.8 log10 CFU/ml) in all five exudates held at 4 degrees C for 29 days. L. monocytogenes grew (increase of 1.7 to 3.6 log10 CFU/ml) in two of five exudates held at 25 degrees C for 6 days. Exudate was inoculated with a derivative of Pediococcus acidilactici H (designated JBL1095) or treated with pediocin AcH (a bacteriocin) as a novel approach to control the growth of L. monocytogenes in wiener exudates. Initially, pediocin AcH caused rapid death (decrease of 0.74 log10 CFU/ml in 2 h) of L. monocytogenes in exudate held at 4 degrees C, but thereafter the inactivation was similar to that in control exudate (L. monocytogenes only) or exudate containing L. monocytogenes plus JBL1095. At 25 degrees C, L. monocytogenes grew in the presence of JBL1095 during the first 64 h of incubation, but thereafter the numbers of the pathogen decreased appreciably (5.84 log10 CFU/ml in 3 days). In the presence of pediocin AcH, there was a gradual decrease in numbers of L. monocytogenes throughout the storage period at 25 degrees C. These data indicate that added biopreservatives can potentiate and amplify the intrinsic listeriostatic or listericidal activity of wiener exudate.  相似文献

Pediococcus acidilactici SJ-1, isolated from a naturally-fermented meat product, produced an antibacterial agent active against selected strains of Lactobacillus spp., Clostridium perfringens and Listeria monocytogenes. The agent was bactericidal against sensitive indicators, and sensitive to proteolytic enzymes; it was identified as a bacteriocin, and was designated as pediocin SJ-1. It was stable over a wide pH range (3–9), and apparently most stable in the lower part of that range. At pH 3.6, pediocin SJ-1 was stable at heat-processing temperatures within the range 65–121°C; its activity decreased significantly, however, when it was heated at pH 7.0. The activity of pediocin SJ-1 on sensitive indicator cells was lost in the presence of α-amylase, suggesting that it contains a glyco moiety, necessary for its antibacterial action.
Native pediocin SJ-1 exists in the form of monomers and aggregates (with molecular weights in the range 80–150 kDa). Pediocin SJ-1 was purified 262-fold by direct application of cell-free supernatant fluids to a cation-exchange chromatography column, and was resolved by SDS-PAGE as a single peptide band with a MW of ca 4 kDa. The original pediocin SJ-1-producing strain (bac+) harbours three plasmids of 4.6, 23.5, and 45.7 MDa. Production of pediocin SJ-1, but not immunity to SJ-1, is associated with the 4.6 MDa plasmid.  相似文献

An antimicrobial peptide designated pediocin AcH was isolated from Pediococcus acidilactici strain H. The pediocin AcH was purified by ion exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of pediocin AcH was determined by SDS-PAGE to be about 2700 daltons. Pediocin AcH was sensitive to proteolytic enzymes, resistant to heat and organic solvents, and active over a wide range of pH. Pediocin AcH exhibited inhibition against several food spoilage bacteria and foodborne pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens and Listeria monocytogenes. It was bactericidal to sensitive cells and acted very rapidly. The bactericidal effect was not produced by either cell lysis or apparent loss of membrane permeability.  相似文献
