Lactococcus lactis 61-14 isolated from river water produced a bacteriocin active against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria. N-terminal amino acid sequencing, mass spectral analysis of the purified bacteriocin, and genetic analysis using nisin-specific primers showed that the bacteriocin was a new natural nisin variant, termed nisin Q. Nisin Q and nisin A differ in four amino acids in the mature peptide and two in the leader sequence.
从河水中分离出的乳酸乳球菌61-14产生了一种对多种革兰氏阳性菌具有活性的细菌素。对纯化后的细菌素进行N端氨基酸测序、质谱分析,并使用乳酸链球菌素特异性引物进行遗传分析,结果表明该细菌素是一种新的天然乳酸链球菌素变体,命名为乳酸链球菌素Q。乳酸链球菌素Q和乳酸链球菌素A在成熟肽中有四个氨基酸不同,在前导序列中有两个氨基酸不同。
