  • Title: Optimization of bacteriocin ST311LD production by Enterococcus faecium ST311LD, isolated from spoiled black olives.
    Author: Todorov SD, Dicks LM.
    Journal: J Microbiol; 2005 Aug; 43(4):370-4. PubMed ID: 16145553.
    Abstract:
    Bacteriocin ST311LD is approximately 2.3 kDa in size. Low levels of bacteriocin activity were recorded in BHI and M17 broth (800 AU/ml) and in 10% (w/v) soy milk (3,200 AU/ml). No bacteriocin production was recorded in 10% (w/v) molasses, despite good growth. Optimal levels (12,800 AU/ml) were detected in MRS broth which had been supplemented with tryptone (20.0 g/l), saccharose (5.0 or 10.0 g/l) or vitamin C (1 ppm). Increased potassium levels did not result in higher levels of activity, and glycerol (1.0 g/l) inhibited the production of bacteriocin ST311LD.
