Phase variation in the culture of the environmental strain Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 194 resulted in the formation of two types of colonies differing by 15% in antibiotic activity. The active variant 194-K produced an antibiotic complex with a broad spectrum of antibacterial and antifungal activity. Five components (194-A, B, C, D, and E) were isolated from the complex by solid-phase extraction and thin-layer chromatography. Components 194-A and 194-B were hydrophobic neutral compounds soluble in organic solvents. Component 194-A possessed fungicidal activity, whereas component 194-B exhibited only bactericidal activity. Physicochemical studies of the isolated components 194-A and 194-B revealed that they had no analogs in the Berdy database of biologically active substances (BNPD) and appeared to be novel antibiotics. Component 194-C was a hydrophilic polar compound inhibiting growth of gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria. Component 194-D belonged to peptide antibiotics; it inhibited growth of only gram-positive bacteria and was similar to nisin A in biological properties but differed in electrophoretic mobility and molecular mass.
