Purification and characterization of bacteriocin isolated from Streptococcus thermophilus

Abstract: Streptococcus thermophilus is used primarily as starter cultures to counter the harmful bacteria grown in cheese and yogurt making/preservation processes. These bacteria produce some exogenous toxins called bacteriocins having the antimicrobial activities against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. In our study S. thermophilus growth was obtained at pH 5.5 and temperature 40°C. Bacteriocin activities were checked after their treatment with different enzymes, organic solvents, sodium chloride (NaCl) … Show more

“…In the present study, the sensitive nature of inhibitory compounds indicated that the active component secreted was proteinaceous in nature and confirmed that growth inhibition of test pathogen was due to antimicrobial peptides. Earlier observations of Aslam et al (2011) on the sensitivity of bacteriocin to proteolytic enzymes strongly support the stated opinion.…”

“…In addition, the influence of β-mercaptoethanol, on the bacteriocin antimicrobial activity was tested in order to confirm if the active protein had disulfide bridges. In fact β-mercaptoethanol is described as being responsible for the loss of the bacteriocin antimicrobial activity (Aslam et al 2011 ; Deraz et al 2007 ).…”

“…It can affect the host response that includes collagenase inhibition, reduction of inflammatory molecules, inhibition of cytoproctective production of proteins on the cell surface, the cytokines that trigger apoptosis prevention and response modulation host [4]. This is consistent with research by Aslam (2011) [20]. The absence of an inhibitory response to Porphyromonas gingivalis is thought to be caused by the lower probiotic pH of soy-yogurt at a concentration of 2% and 3% concentrations of 4% and 5%.…”
