Abstract:Listeria moniocytogenes is food-borne pathogen. Pediocin is group II α bacteriocin with anti-listeria activity, naturally produced by Pediococuus acidilactic and Lactobacillus plantarum. Gene pepA/papA encode for pediocin. Expression and secretion of active papA was relayed on transporter papC and accessary protein papD on the same operon in native host. The excretion machines were also necessary for pediocin protein expression in heterologous host of E. coli, Lactobacillus lactis, and Corynebacterium glutamic… Show more
