Production of bacteriocins by different enterococcal isolates.
Bacteriocins produced by ruminal as well as environmental isolates were found to be heat-stable antimicrobial substances with a broad inhibitory spectrum (including Gram-negative species and sanitary-important species). The exponential phase of growth and pH 4-7 were optimal for their production. After purification, some of them were sequenced and specified.
