  • 박테리오신의 일종인 Leucocin A를 생산하는 효모의 제작을 위하여 114 bp 길이의 종지코돈을 포함하는 Leucocin A 유전자를 합성하여 효모운반체인 pYDl에 클로닝하였다. 이렇게 제작된 재조합 DNA를 효모세포에 형질전환시켜 Leucocin A를 생산하는 형질전환 효모세포를 제작하였다. 형질전환 효모는 고초균(Bacillus subtilis)에 대해 항균활성을 나타냈다. 형질전환 효모로부터 분리한 플라스미드를 주형(template)으로 하고 Leucocin A에 특이적인 primer들을 이용하여 PCR 반응을 행한 결과, 효모에 도입된 Leucocin A 유전자를 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구의 결과로 부패하기 쉬운 식품들의 보존성을 향상시키거나, 내성이 생긴 병원균의 생육을 저해하기 위한 항생제로 사용할 수 있는 박테리오신을 산업적으로 대량생산할 수 있는 효모세포를 제작하였다.

  • B. subtilis에 대한 항균 활성을 파악하기 위하여 bacteriocin의 일종인 leucocin A로 형질전환된 효모를 배양 시간별로 채취하여 광학밀도, 총 분비 단백질량, 단백질 분해효소 그리고 향균활성을 측정했다. Sucrose > glycerol > glucose > fructose 순으로 세포 증식이 높게 확인되었고, glyceroldmf 제외한 탄소원에서 총분비 단백질은 배양 15 시간까지 증가되었다. Leucocin A의 향균활성(antibacterial activity)은 성장양상, 총 분비 단백질과 비례 하였으며 배양 15 시간에 glucose와 sucrose에서 배양한 상등액이 B. subtilis 성장을 가각 $65.5\%$, $72.6\%$ 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 정지기 이후에는 향균활성이 급속히 감소하였는데, 이는 항균활성을 보이는 leucocin A가 단백질이고, 단백질 분해효소가 정지기 이후 증가한 것에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 향후 식품산업뿐만 아니라 항생제 생산 사용되기 위한 산업적 기초 자료로써 이용 될 것이다.

  • Leuconostoc sp. LAB145-3A isolated from kimchi produced a bacteriocin which was active against food pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, and E. faecium. Bacteriocin production occurred during the early exponential phase of growth and was stable upto the late stationary phase of growth. Optimum conditions for bacteriocin production were $37^{\circ}C$ with an initial pH of 7.0. The bacteriocin of LAB145-3A was sensitive to proteases, but stable for solvents, pH change and heat treatment. It was stable even at autoclaving temperature for 15 min. The bacteriocin exhibited a bactericidal mode of action against Lactobacillus curvatus LAB170-12. The bacteriocin produced by Leuconostoc sp. LAB145-3A was purified by CM-cellulose cation exchange column chromatography and Sephadex G-50 gel filtration. The purification resulted in an approximate 10,000-fold increase in the specific activity. Approximately 4% of the initial activity was recovered. Purified bacteriocin exhibited a single band on the SDS-PAGE with an apparent molecular weight of 4,400 daltons. This bacteriocin was named leucocin K. Leuconostoc sp. LAB145-3A had two residential plasmids with molecular sizes of 23 kb and 48 kb. A comparison of plasmid profiles between LAB145-3A and its mutants revealed that the 23 kb plasmid (pCA23) was responsible for bacteriocin production and immunity to the bacteriocin in Leuconostoc sp. LAB145-3A.

  • This study was carried out to characterize the antilisterial substances produced by Leuconostoc sp. W65 and to evaluate the effects of pH, temperature, and time on inhibitory activity using response surface methodology. Leucocin W65, an antilisterial substance produced by Leuconostoc sp. W65, markedly inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua, and L. ivanovii, whereas other pathogens including Gram-negative bacteria were not susceptible. The pH was the most effective factor with regard to bacteriocin activity, while temperature and time of heat treatment had no significant effect. Fifty percent of inhibitory activity remained after 22.8 min at pH 4.2 and $121^{\circ}C$. Leucocin W65 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and tricine-SDS-PAGE. Compositional analysis originally estimated the peptide to be 56 amino acids in length without asparagine, glutamine, and tryptophane. The sequence of partial N-terminal amino acid residues of purified bacteriocin was identified as follows: $NH_{2}-XGXAGVXPXGGQQPXVPLXYP$.
