Detection, purification, and partial characterization of plantaricin C, a bacteriocin produced by a Lactobacillus plantarum strain of dairy origin.

Departamento de Biologia Funcional, Universidad de Oviedo, 33006 Spain.

ABSTRACT

A bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum LL441 was selected from the inhibitory products of 75 mesophilic lactobacilli because of its potency and broad spectrum. It is a peptide of 3.5 kDa whose amino-terminal sequence is NH2-K-K-T-K-K-N-X-S-G-D-I-. It is bactericidal and, in some cases, bacteriolytic. The peptide, called plantaricin C, retained its activity after boiling, storage, and treatment at different pHs.
