박테리오신 BSCX1은 Bacillus subtilis cx1에 의해 생산되는 항균성 peptide이다. B. subtilis cx1의 박테리오신(BSCX1)은 Bacilius subtilis ATCC6633, Listeria monocytogenes KCTC3569를 포함한 그람양성균과 Salmonella typhi ATCC19430, Escherichia coli ATCC25922와 같은 그람음성균에 대해서도 비교적 넓은 항균활성 범위를 가진다. 박테리오신 생산균주인 B. subtilis cx1과 그것의 감수성 균주인 B. subtilis ATCC6633을 공동 배양한 결과, 박테리오신 BSCX1의 생산이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있다. 이 결과는 박테리오신 생산균주 B. subtilis cx1의 성장 배지내에 박테리오신 감수성 균주가 존재함이 BSCX1 생산을 촉진시키는 것을 의미한다. 감수성 균주의 박테리오신 유도 작용을 확인하였으므로 유도물질이 감수성 균주의 어느 위치에 존재하는지 밝히기 위해 B. subtilis ATCC6633을 분획하여 실험한 결과 세포내 분획과 세포파쇄물에 모두 유도물질이 존재함을 확인하였다. BSCX1 유도물질의 유도활성은 pH 2.5에서 pH 9.5에 걸쳐 전 구간에서 유지되었으며, $50^{\circ}C$이상에서는 3시간 이내에 불활성화 되었다. 유도물질에 단백분해효소인 proteinase K를 처리한 결과 유도활성이 사라져 단백질성 물질임을 알 수 있었다.

Bacillus cereus BS229 was identified as a bacteriocin producer with a bactericidal activity against Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Thomsoni BR-40. Bacillus cereus BS229 and cerein BS229, named tentatively as the bacteriocin produced by Bacillus cereus BS229, showed a narrow spectrum of actibity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, along with yeast and molds. Production of cerein BS229 in a 5-1 fermenter followed typical kinetics of primary metabolite synthesis. The antibacterial activity of cerein BS229 on sensitive indicator cells disappeared completely by ${\alpha}-chmotrypsin$ or proteinase K, which indicates its proteinaceous nature. Cerein BS229 seemed to be very stable throughout the pH range of 2.0 of 9.0 and it was relatively heat labile, despite the fact that bacteriocin activity was still detected after being boied for 30min. Cerein BS229 actibity has been changed with some of the organic solvents such as toluene, ethanol, and chloroform. Direct detection of cerein BS229 actibity on SDS-PAGE suggested that it had an apparent molecular mass of about 8.2 kDa.

B. subtilis 168 균주는 배양중 항균물질을 배지중으로 분비하며 배양상등액은 몇몇 그램 양성균을 저해한다. B. cereus와 L. monocytogenes의 저해 정도가 가장 컸었다. 배양상등액을 proteas와 proteinase K로 처리할 경우 항균력이 상실되어서 항균물질은 단백질성(박테리오신) 임을 알수있었다. Tricine SDS-PAGE에 의해서 박테리오신 분자량은 5 kDa으로 확인되었다. 박테리오신은 민감한 균을 죽임으로써 생육을 저해하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이상 결과들에서 B. subtilis 168은 청국장과 같은 B. cereus 오염이 문제되는 발효식품들의 종균으로 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Natural antimicrobial substances are needed as alternatives to synthetic antimicrobials to protect against foodborne pathogens. In this study, a bacteriocin-producing bacterium, Bacillus subtilis HD15, was isolated from doenjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste. We sequenced the complete genome of B. subtilis HD15. This genome size was 4,173,431 bp with a G + C content of of 43.58%, 4,305 genes, and 4,222 protein-coding genes with predicted functions, including a subtilosin A gene cluster. The bacteriocin was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Diethylaminoethanol-Sepharose chromatography, and Sephacryl gel filtration, with 12.4-fold purification and 26.2% yield, respectively. The purified protein had a molecular weight of 3.6 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence showed the highest similarity to Bacillus subtilis 168 subtilosin A (78%) but only 68% similarity to B. tequilensis subtilosin proteins, indicating that the antimicrobial substance isolated from B. subtilis HD15 is a novel bacteriocin related to subtilosin A. The purified protein from B. subtilis HD15 exhibited high antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus. It showed stable activity in the range 0-70℃ and pH 2-10 and was completely inhibited by protease, proteinase K, and pronase E treatment, suggesting that it is a proteinaceous substance. These findings support the potential industrial applications of the novel bacteriocin purified from B. subtilis HD15.

The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize bacteriocin-producing bacteria against Clostridium perfringens from domestic animals to determine their usefulness as probiotics. The feces of cattle and chicken were used as sources to isolate bacteriocin-producing bacteria using the spot-on-lawn method. In total, 900 bacterial stains were isolated from domestic animal feces, and 19 strains were finally selected after determining the inhibitory activity against the pathogenic indicator C. perfringens KCTC 3269. Eighteen strains of Bacillus subtilis and one strain of Brevibacillus parabrevis were identified by 16s rRNA sequencing. Most of the bacterial strains isolated were resistant to 0.5% bile salts and remained viable after 2 h at pH 3.0. Additionally, some B. subtilis strains showed strong inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes. We isolated and screened B. subtilis strains CB 153 and CB 189 from cattle and B. subtilis MSC 156 and B. parabrevis MSC 164 from chickens using probiotic selection criteria such as inhibition activity against C. perfringens and tolerance to acid and bile salts. The isolated bacteriocin-producing bacteria and/or bacteriocin have the potential to be used as probiotics in the livestock industry.

A new bacteriocin produced by Bacillus licheniformis cy2 was partially purified and characterized. The bacteriocin named as BSCY2 was stable in the pH range of 2.5~9.5. BSCY2 was stable below 4$0^{\circ}C$ and it retained its antimicrobial activity during long tern storage at -2$0^{\circ}C$ and -7$0^{\circ}C$. BSCY2 was inactivated 15 min exposure to temperatures over 8$0^{\circ}C$ and lost 50% of its antimicrobial activity within 2 hr at 7$0^{\circ}C$. BSCY2 was inactivated by proteinase K treatment, which indicates its proteinous nature. Direct detection of the BSCY2 band showing antimicobial activity on Tricine-SDS-PAGE suggested an apparent molecular mass of about 6,500 dalton. These characterizatics of BSCY2 are considered as potential compounds for use in bioindustry.

우리 고유의 전통 발효 음식인 김치로부터 bacteriocin 생성능이 우수한 Lactococcus sp. J-105균주를 분리하였다. Lactococcus sp. J-105의 생육 및 bacteriocin 생성에 대한 최적 조건을 검토한 결과 bacteriocin 생성은 대수 증식기 말기에서 정지기 초기에 가장 많이 생성되었다. Lactococcus sp. J-105의 생육 및 bacteriocin 생성 최적 탄소원 및 질소원은 각각 maltose와 polypeptone이었다. 균의 생육 및 bacteriocin 생성 최적 온도는 $25^{\circ}C$였으며 생육 최적 pH는 pH 8 부근이었다. bacteriocin 생성 또한 pH 8에서 최고를 나타내었다. 한편 NaCl은 오히려 균체 증식과 bac-tericoin 생성을 저해하였다. Lactococcus sp. J-105가 생산하는 bacteriocin의 pH 및 열에 대한 안정성을 검토한 결과 pH 2~4, $121^{\circ}C$ 15분에서 각각 안정하였다. 또한 J-105의 항균 spectrum을 검토한 결과 Lactobacillus sp. Leuconostoc s 그리고 Bacillus subtilis 등의 Gram 양성균에 대해서 항균활성 나타내었으며 Gram 음성균인 Acetobacter acid에 대해서도 항균 활성을 나타내었으나 E. coli에 대해서는 항균 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 본 bacteriocin은 trypsin, protease와 같은 peptide 분해효소에 대해서는 안정한 반면, pepsin에 의해서는 활성이 상실되는 특이한 성질을 나타내었다

A bacterium strain called Bacillus coagulans was isolated from an industrial wastewater drainage and selected for its antimicrobial activities against bacteria and fungi. Characterization studies strongly suggested that this strain is Bacillus coagulans. Antimicrobial activity was found against gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria and yeast strain. Maximal activity was observed after 24 h when incubated at $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 8. The activity was found to be stable at $75^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and at pH range of 2-12. Analysis of the antimicrobial compound by SDS-PAGE suggested a molecular mass of approximately 7.5 KDa. The substance was characterized as a bacteriocin, because of its proteinaceous nature and low molecular weight. Our bacteriocin could potentially be used as a food preservative, because of its thermostable property and broad antimicrobial spectrum.

Bacillus subtilis CAU131 (KCCM 10257) isolated from a fermented shrimp product produces subtilein, tentatively named as a bacteriocin, which exhibited a bactericidal effect against closely related species such as Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778, and several other strains of Bacillus sp. The purification of the subtilein was achieved by applying a mono-Q anion exchange chromatography on FPLC and $C_18$ reverse-phase chromatography on HPLC. After purification, specific activity of subtilein was increased about 3,000-fold compared with culture broth and its molecular mass was about 5,000 Da on SDS-PAGE. The antimicrobial activity of subtilein was well maintained at acidic and neutral pHs between 3 and 8. Subtilein was relatively heat stable, and its antimicrobial activity remained for 2 h at $80^{\circ}C$. However, the activity was reduced after heating at $100^{\circ}C$, and about $80\%$ of the activity was found after 1 h incubation at $100^{\circ}C$. The treatment of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 with subtilein led to morphological changes in stationary-phase cells and most cells appeared to be lysed.
