Abstract: | A gene encoding the antimicrobial peptide, lactococcin K, was isolated from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MY23 then cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Because the expressed lactococcin K was formed as an inclusion body in recombinant E. coli, a fusion protein containing lactococcin K and maltose-binding protein (MBP) was produced in a soluble form. For high-level production of lactococcin K, we performed a pH-stat fed-batch culture to produce 43,000 AU lactococcin K ml−1 in 12 h.
