Antibacterial Peptides, Probiotic Properties and Biopreservative Efficacy of Native Bacillus Species Isolated from Different Food Sources

Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins

Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the occurrence of antibacterial peptide (ABP)-producing Bacillus spp. in fermented foods. Among 78 isolated cultures, 25 potential ABP-producing stains were selected and differentiated genotypically and phenotypically. The 16S rRNA gene sequence homology, in combination with morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, was used for the identification of the isolates. The isolates exhibited inhibitory activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative food-borne pathogens. The antibacterial compounds produced by these cultures were proteinaceous in nature, with molecular weight falling in the range of 3-6.5 kDa. The ABP present in the cell-free supernatant of B. subtilis Ec1 and B. licheniformis Me1 exhibited the highest titre of activity (3,400 AU/ml) and wide range of pH (4-10) and temperature (40-100 °C) stability. The strain Ec1 was found to be exhibiting some in vitro probiotic properties, such as acid and bile tolerance, bile salt hydrolase activity and hydrophobicity towards hydrocarbons. The viable counts of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A in pasteurized milk samples containing ABP of Ec1 were lower than those observed in controls without ABP. The ABP-coated packaging films ...Continue Reading
