Bacteriocins are defined as ribosomally synthesized antibacterial peptides/proteins that either kill or inhibit the growth of other bacteria. In the present study, the physicochemical properties, mode of action, and potential use in food preservation of a novel bacteriocin BM1122 from Lactobacillus crustorum MN047 were studied. It exhibited a broad inhibitory spectrum against selected Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. Kinetic curves revealed efficient time‐dependent bactericidal activity. Moreover, BM1122 possessed low hemolytic activity and good thermal stability between 60 and 120 °C. It was resistant to a wide range of pH (2 to 11) and proteinases. The scanning and transmission electron microscopy showed that BM1122 led to plasmolysis of Staphylococcus aureus and pore formation in Escherichia coli. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that BM1122 destroyed cell membrane integrity. Additionally, BM1122 could also inhibit biofilm formation and disturb the normal cell cycles of S. aureus and E. coli. Finally, BM1122 may enhance the inhibition of S. aureus and E. coli on beef meat stored at 4 °C for a duration of 10 days. These findings indicated that BM1122 had the potential for use as a natural preservative in the food industry. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Fresh raw meats are highly perishable products. Bacteriocin BM1122 with a broad antibacterial spectrum can inhibit the growth of microorganisms in beef meat during refrigerated storage.
