Abstract: | Lactobacillus curvatus SB13 biosynthetized during growth and excreted into the culture medium an inhibitor active againstListeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and some other Gram-positive bacteria. The native activity was linked to a non-dialyzable proteinaceous complex, destroyed by proteases, with an apparent molecular weight greater that 10 kDa. It showed a hydrophobic character, being soluble in alcohols and not denaturated by several organic solvents. The molecule was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. |
