Antimicrobial Mechanism of “Fatty Acyl Glutamic Acid” Biosurfactant against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes Involves Disruption of the Cytoplasmic Membrane

Abstract: We report the antimicrobial mechanism of fatty acyl glutamic acid (FA-glu) biosurfactant against the foodborne pathogens L. monocytogenes (Gram-positive bacteria) and E. coli O157:H7 (Gram-negative bacteria). Growth of both of the bacterium types was inhibited by 50% and 100% with 5 and 25 mg/L FA-glu in the bacterial broth medium, respectively. Bacterial inhibition involved rupturing and perforation of the cell envelopes respectively for E. coli and L. monocytogenes. Mass spectrometric and the nuclear magneti… Show more
