Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from chicken and fish (Labeo rohita) intestines and mushrooms (Agaricus sp.) were identified and characterized with reference to production of bacteriocins and their genetic markers. Of 650 LAB isolates identified, 2 Lactobacillus casei ssp. casei (C-40 and M-50), 2 Pediococcus pentosaceus (C-6 and M-10) and 2 Pediococcus acidilactici (C-20 and F-58) isolates and 1 Pediococcus sp. isolate (F-7) produced bacteriocins active against related strains of LAB. Bacteriocin producing isolates appeared to contain either 1 or 2 plasmids 4-8 Kb in size and a megaplasmid. Plasmid curing of L. casei ssp. casei C-40 resulted in loss of bacteriocin production and an altered pattern of sugar utilization (inability to utilize mannitol, sorbitol, mellibiose and raffinose). Antibiograms of bacteriocin producing strains showed they were resistant to most of the antibiotics tested, particularly those belonging to the beta-lactam and cephalosporin groups; most strains were sensitive to 30 mug of chloramphenicol and 15 mug of erythromycin. It is concluded that the bacteriocin producing isolates identified in this study may have potential use in food preservation or probiotic applications. [From En summ.]
