In this study, bacterial strains were isolated from curd and evaluated its bactericidal potential against two aquatic pathogens Salmonella sp and Vibrio sp isolated from marine fish, Parastromateus niger and squid, Loligo duvauceli. Based on the antimicrobial activity, potential strain was selected and identified as Bacillus sp. Further, bacteriocin was partially purified from the Bacillus sp by ammonium sulphate precipitation and dialysis. The molecular weight of the partially purified bacteriocin was estimated by SDS-PAGE. To understand the biopreservative ability of the purified bacteriocin, tissues of Salmonella and Vibrio-infected fish, Parastromateus niger and Loligo duvauceli were treated with bacteriocin for 30 days at different storage conditions (-4°C and -20°C) and the microbial load was counted at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days. Results showed that bacteriocin significantly reduced the total bacterial count at both storage temperatures in a time dependent manner. This study proved the efficiency of bactericidal and biopreservative activity of bacteriocin isolated from Bacillus subtilis (KY808492).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
