چکیده

Bacteriophage endolysins have an interesting potential as antimicrobials. The endolysin LysH5, encoded by Staphylococcus aureus phage vB_SauS-phi-IPLA88, was expressed and secreted in Lactococcus lactis using the signal peptide of bacteriocin lactococcin 972 and lactococcal constitutive and inducible promoters. Up to 80 U/mg of extracellular active endolysin was detected in culture supernatants, but most of the protein (up to 323 U/mg) remained in the cell extracts.

Prophage induction in Lactococcus lactis by the bacteriocin Lactococcin 972.

Lactococcin 972 (Lcn972) is a non-pore forming bacteriocin with a narrow spectrum of activity restricted to Lactococcus. Lcn972 inhibits the incorporation of cell wall precursors in the septum area, thereby inhibiting cell division. In this work, an additional inhibitory effect is described, namely, the induction of the lytic cycle of resident prophages in the lysogenic strain L. lactis IPLA 51...

Title : Synergy between the phage endolysin LysH 5 and nisin to kill Staphylococcus 1 aureus in pasteurized milk

26 27 Phage-encoded endolysins are recently considered as new biocontrol tools to inhibit 28 pathogens in food. In this work, we have studied the ionic requirements for optimal lytic 29 activity of LysH5, the endolysin encoded by the staphylococcal bacteriophage phi30 SauS-IPLA88. LysH5 activity was inhibited by the presence of Mn and Zn and 31 enhanced by Ca, Mg and NaCl. When LysH5 was combin...

A bacteriocin gene cluster able to enhance plasmid maintenance in Lactococcus lactis

BACKGROUND Lactococcus lactis is widely used as a dairy starter and has been extensively studied. Based on the acquired knowledge on its physiology and metabolism, new applications have been envisaged and there is an increasing interest of using L. lactis as a cell factory. Plasmids constitute the main toolbox for L. lactis genetic engineering and most rely on antibiotic resistant markers for p...

Sec-mediated secretion of bacteriocin enterocin P by Lactococcus lactis.

Most lactic acid bacterium bacteriocins utilize specific leader peptides and dedicated machineries for secretion. In contrast, the enterococcal bacteriocin enterocin P (EntP) contains a typical signal peptide that directs its secretion when heterologously expressed in Lactococcus lactis. Signal peptide mutations and the SecA inhibitor azide blocked secretion. These observations demonstrate that...
