Antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from vacuum-packaged meats

The Journal of Applied Bacteriology
C Ahn, M E Stiles

Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria isolated from vacuum-packaged fresh meat stored at 4 degrees C were shown to produce antagonistic substances active against closely related bacteria. Growth medium, pH and growth temperature all affected the production of the inhibitory substances. Ten strains including aciduric Lactobacillus-type organisms, Carnobacterium spp. and Leuconostoc spp. were selected that produced protein-aceous substances that caused inhibition of indicator strains. These were considered to be bacteriocins or bacteriocin-like compounds based on their inactivation with protease, generally narrow spectra of antibacterial activity and bactericidal or bacteriostatic modes of action. Activity was not lost from supernatant fluids as a result of heat treatment at 62 degrees C for 30 min, except for the Leuconostoc strains. Inhibitory spectra of some strains included Enterococcus spp. and Listeria monocytogenes. Some strains were of interest because their inhibitory substances were detected in the supernatant fluid early in the growth cycle. The inhibitory substances differed in characteristics between strains and there is evidence that more than one bacteriocin-like substance may be produced by some strains.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
