Lactic acid bacteria exhibiting activity against the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis were isolated from rice bran. One of the isolates, identified as Enterococcus faecalis RJ-11, exhibited a wide spectrum of growth inhibition with various gram-positive bacteria. A bacteriocin purified from culture fluid, designated enterocin RJ-11, was heat stable and was not sensitive to acid and alkaline conditions, but it was sensitive to several proteolytic enzymes. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis revealed that enterocin RJ-11 had a molecular weight of 5,000 in its monomeric form. The amino acid sequence determined for purified enterocin RJ-11 exhibited high levels of similarity to the sequences of enterocins produced by Enterococcus faecium.
从米糠中分离出了对革兰氏阳性菌枯草芽孢杆菌具有活性的乳酸菌。其中一株分离菌被鉴定为粪肠球菌RJ - 11,它对多种革兰氏阳性菌表现出广泛的生长抑制作用。从培养液中纯化得到的一种细菌素,命名为肠球菌素RJ - 11,具有热稳定性,对酸性和碱性条件不敏感,但对几种蛋白水解酶敏感。十二烷基硫酸钠 - 聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析表明,肠球菌素RJ - 11的单体形式分子量为5000。纯化的肠球菌素RJ - 11的氨基酸序列与屎肠球菌产生的肠球菌素序列具有高度相似性。
