Purification and partial amino acid sequence of curvaticin FS47, a heat-stable bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus curvatus FS47.
Curvaticin FS47, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus curvatus FS47, is inhibitory to Listeria monocytogenes, as well as Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Enterococcus, and Bacillus spp. The bacteriocin was purified by 40% ammonium sulfate precipitation, solid-phase extraction, and reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Purified curvaticin FS47 was determined to be 4.07 kDa by mass spectrometry and was partially sequenced. Thirty-one N-terminal amino acids were identified; the curvaticin FS47 protein sequence did not show homology to the pediocin-like group of bacteriocins.
