Acid tolerance of the lactic acid bacterium (LAB) is crucially important for production free as a chemical monomer by simplified purification steps. This study conducts both metabolic modification and adaptive evolution approaches on increasing an engineered Pediococcus acidilactici strain. The overexpression genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase, recombinase, chaperone, glutathione ATPase did n...

Objectives: In the present study, Pediococcus acidilactici Ch-2 isolated from Chuli has been evaluated for its probiotic potential and its ability to produce bioactive compounds. Methodology: Isolation was done on MRS agar followed by the safety assessment of isolates. Isolates were screened on the basis of their antagonistic potential against pathogenic bacteria. Probiotic attributes of screen...

The present study tried to investigate the effects of probiotic, Pediococcus acidilactici in concentrations of 1× 109, 2× 109 and 3×109cfu kg-1 diet on growth and survival rate of oriental bream fry (Abramis brama orientalis, Berg 1949) in comparison to control diet (devoid of probiotic) for 60 days. In so doing, 180 specimens of oriental bream with initial weight of 2.69&plus...

This study was oriented to production of bioactive tetradecane reported in extracts Pediococcus acidilactici isolated from curd milk and 16S rRNA sequence analysis isolate showed 98% correlation with P. DSM: 20284-CM (accession no. NR042057.1). activity has been tested by disc diffusion assay against Staphylococcus aureus MRSA ATCC 43300, Listeria monocytogenes 19116, Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTC...

A bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici had an inhibitory and bactericidal effect on Listeria monocytogenes associated with fresh meat. MICs were significantly lower than minimum killing concentrations. When meat was inoculated with L. monocytogenes, the bacteriocin reduced the number of attached bacteria in 2 min by 0.5 to 2.2 log cycles depending upon bacteriocin concentration. Mea...

AIMS The possibility of substrate inhibition by glucose on biomass and pediocin production was studied in cultures of Pediococcus acidilactici on a residual medium. METHODS AND RESULTS Calculation of the substrate inhibition coefficient in the context of microbial growth is generally laborious, and very prone to experimental error. However, a simulation combining logistic and Monod kinetics e...

Bacteriocin producing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Pediococcus acidilactici were isolated from milk and meat samples, respectively. An attempt was made to produce bacteriocin in a Dairy Based (DB) medium using these organisms. Higher bacteriocin activity was shown by L. acidophilus in the DB medium. Bacteriocins of both the organisms were effective against food pathogens. The bacteriocins were...
