Characterization of a bacteriocin produced by Streptococcus thermophilus ST134
1995
Ward, D.J. | Somkuti, G.A.
A pH-dependent adsorption/desorption technique was used to screen Streptococcus thermophilus strains for the production of bacteriocins. Agar-diffusion tests with S. thermophilus strains as targets identified 13 out of 41 strains as producers of antibacterial activity. Thermophilin A, the bacteriocin-like substance present in the culture supernatant of S. thermophilus ST134 was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography, followed by ultrafiltration. Thermophilin A is a relatively heat-stable and apparently glycosylated bacteriocin with a bactericidal mode of action against sensitive cells.
