Production of the antimicrobial peptides Caseicin A and B by Bacillus isolates growing on sodium caseinate

Aims: The aim of this study was to identify Bacillus isolates capable of degrading sodium caseinate and subsequently to generate bioactive peptides with antimicrobial activity. Methods and results: Sodium caseinate (2·5% w/v) was inoculated separately with 16 Bacillus isolates and allowed to ferment...

Zusammenfassung:Aims: The aim of this study was to identify Bacillus isolates capable of degrading sodium caseinate and subsequently to generate bioactive peptides with antimicrobial activity. Methods and results: Sodium caseinate (2·5% w/v) was inoculated separately with 16 Bacillus isolates and allowed to ferment overnight. Protein breakdown in the fermentates was analysed using gel permeation‐HPLC (GP‐HPLC) and screened for peptides (
