Influence of Growth Conditions on the Production of a Bacteriocin, Pediocin AcH, by Pediococcus acidilactici H

Abstract: The influence of growth parameters on the production of pediocin AcH by Pediococcus acidilactici H was studied. This strain produced large quantities of pediocin AcH in TGE broth (Trypticase [1%], glucose [1%], yeast extract [1%], Tween 80 [0.2%], Mn2+ [0.033 mM], Mg2+ [0.02 mM] [pH 6.5]) within 16 to 18 h at 30 to 37°C (final pH, 3.6 to 3.7). Pediocin AcH production was negligible when the pH of the medium was maintained at 5.0 or above, even in the presence of high cell mass.

“…Although factors affecting the production of the peptide antibiotic, nisin, have been studied (Hurst 1981 ;Rayman & Hurst 1984) information about other bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria is scarce. The effect of pH is well documented (Barefoot & Klaenhammer 1984;Joerger & Klaenhammer 1986;Ahn & Stiles 1990;Piard et al 1990;Hastings & Stiles 1991), but only a few studies are available on the effect of some media ingredients (Biswas et al 1991) or on comparisons of bacteriocin production in different media (Geis et al 1983).…”

“…Culture pH alters the microbial growth profile which in turn alters bacteriocin production, as well as its adsorption and desorption to the cell membrane. 5,15,22,28,29 It is also known that pH is involved in the regulation of the processes of post-translational modification and secretion of bacteriocins. 30 This study shows that pediocin SM-1 is secreted across only a narrow pH range.…”

“…Similarly, studies in batch and chemostat cultures have shown that several bacteriocins produced by LAB, such as nisin, pediocin and plantaricin C are produced only within narrow pH ranges or at specific pH values, while others are able to be produced over wider ranges of pH values, e.g., lactococcin 972. 20,22,28,31,32 Effect of the type of the carbon source on the growth of P. pentosaceus and bacteriocin production in batch cultures Batch cultivations were carried out using glucose, sucrose, or fructose as the main source of carbon at the concentrations of 5 and 10 g/L (the pH maintained at 6.5). Glucose and sucrose supported similar growth rates (results not shown).…”

“…Inhibitory activity was studied using the agar well diffusion assay (Biswas et al 1991) using Petri dishes containing a basal layer of 1.2% agar medium. A top layer of 2 mL of soft agar (0.7% agar) containing 100 mL of the indicator strain broth was poured, and holes (5.5 mm diameter) were made using a cork borer.…”
