Abstract: | Expanded bed adsorption using a strong cation exchanger allowed the direct isolation of amylovorin L471, a bacteriocin from Lactobacillus amylovorusDCE 471, from the fermentation medium. The pH of the loading and elution buffer were optimised in a packed bed with cell-free culture supernatant. Bound bacteriocin was eluted with 1.0 M NaCl. The highest recovery (30%) was obtained at the lowest pH (3.6). At higher pH values the recovery was lower, namely 12%, 15% and 7% at pH 4.5, 6.5 and 8.0, respectively. In expanded bed mode, direct isolation of the bacteriocin from the fermentation medium at pH 3.6 (loading and elution) initially resulted in a recovery of 12%. After optimisation of the pH (loading and elution at pH 3.6 and 6.5, respectively), the recovery for amylovorin L471 increased up to 30% and higher. Recovery of enterocin A from Enterococcus faeciumCTC 492 fermentation medium averaged 15% (loading and elution at pH 3.6 and 6.0, respectively). With pediocin, produced by Pediococcus acidilactici ATCC 8042, 26% recovery was obtained at a pH of 6.5 during loading and elution. Low recoveries can be ascribed to non-optimal operation conditions (pH of loading and elution buffer), inactivation of the bacteriocin on a cationic resin, and the formation of more insoluble and less active, strongly hydrophobic bacteriocin aggregates upon further purification. |
