AIM: To isolate and characterize bacteriocin, licheniocin 50.2, from soil bacteria identified as Bacillus licheniformis.
METHODS AND RESULTS: The strain B. licheniformis VPS50.2 was identified as bacteriocin producer, effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and β-haemolytic streptococci. The start of bacteriocin production coincides with the beginning of sporulation. Ammonium sulfate precipitation, chloroform extraction and ultrafiltration were used for bacteriocin purification. MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometry of purified sample detected the protein with molecular mass of 3253·209 Da. N-terminal sequencing recognized first 15 amino acids with the sequence: W E E Y N I I X Q L G N K G Q. We named the newly characterized bacteriocin as subclass II.3 bacteriocin, licheniocin 50·2. The bacteriocin activity was insensitive to lysozyme and proteinase K, heat stable after incubation at 100°C for 30 min and over wide range of pH (2-12). MICs of crude bacteriocin extract were determined for L. monocytogenes and MRSA. Time-kill study showed that licheniocin had bactericidal effect to L. monocytogenes.
CONCLUSION: A novel, thermostable, pH-tolerant bacteriocin active against Gram-positive bacteria was isolated.
SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Attributes of new, stable licheniocin 50.2 make it a promising agent for application as biopreservative in food industry.
