Zusammenfassung: | Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198, a natural cheese isolate, produces the anticlostridial bacteriocin, macedocin. Bacteriocin activity was detected from the mid-exponential growth phase and remained constant during the stationary phase. A secondary model was setup to describe the influence of temperature (20–45 °C) and pH (5.1–6.9) on cell growth of and bacteriocin production by
S. macedonicus ACA-DC 198 during in vitro laboratory fermentations.
The optimum temperature for bacteriocin production (20–25 °C) was markedly lower than the optimum growth temperature (42.3 °C). In contrast, the specific macedocin production was maximal around pH 6.0, whereas growth was optimal at pH 6.4. Consequently, the maximum bacteriocin activity was reached between pH 6.0 and 6.5. |
