Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized peptides with the innate ability to kill or inhibit growth of other bacteria. In recent years, bacteriocins have received increased interest, as their antimicrobial activity enhances food safety and shelf life by combatting pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes. They also have application potential as an active pharmaceutical compound to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. As new bacteriocins continue to be discovered, accelerated workflows for screening, identification, and process development have been developed. However, antimicrobial activity measurement is often still limited with regards to quantification and throughput. Here, we present the use of a non-linear calibration model to infer nisin concentrations in cultivation supernatants of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis B1629 using readouts of pHluorin2 fluorescence-based antimicrobial activity assays.
细菌素是核糖体合成的肽,具有杀死或抑制其他细菌生长的天然能力。近年来,细菌素受到了越来越多的关注,因为它们的抗菌活性通过对抗诸如单核细胞增生李斯特氏菌等病原体来提高食品安全和延长保质期。它们还具有作为活性药物化合物对抗多重耐药病原体的应用潜力。随着新的细菌素不断被发现,已经开发出了用于筛选、鉴定和工艺开发的加速工作流程。然而,抗菌活性测量在定量和通量方面往往仍然有限。在此,我们展示了使用非线性校准模型,通过基于pHluorin2荧光的抗菌活性测定读数来推断乳酸乳球菌乳酸亚种B1629培养上清液中的乳链菌肽浓度。
