Abstract
Lactobacillus curvatus LTH 1174, a strain isolated from fermented sausage, produces the antilisterial bacteriocin curvacin A. Its biokinetics of cell growth and bacteriocin production as a function of temperature (20-38 degrees C) and pH (4.8-7.0) were investigated in vitro during laboratory fermentations using de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) medium. A predictive, successfully validated model was set up to describe the influence of temperature and pH on the microbial behavior. Both cell growth and bacteriocin activity were influenced by changes in temperature and pH. The optimum temperature value for cell growth, 34.5 degrees C, did not correspond with the optimum temperature for curvacin A production (20-27 degrees C). Interestingly, the pH range for growth and curvacin A production was broad. Thus, Lb. curvatus LTH 1174 seems to be a promising bacteriocin-producing strain for use in European sausage fermentations that are performed at temperatures near 25 degrees C.

Abstract
Several sourdough lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce inhibitory substances other than organic acids. Bacteriocins (bavaricin A, and plantaricin ST31), a bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS C57), and a new antibiotic (reutericyclin) have been discovered. Maximum antimicrobial production was found in the pH range 4.0-6.0. Temperature optima vary strongly. The substances are resistant to heat and acidity, and inactivated by proteolytic enzymes, except for reutericyclin. Bavaricin A and plantaricin ST31 have been purified to homogeneity. Bavaricin A is classified as a class IIa bacteriocin. Reutericyclin is a new tetramic acid. The mode of action of bavaricin A, BLIS C57, and reutericyclin is bactericidal. Some of these substances are active towards some Bacilli, Staphylococci and Listeria strains. Up to now, only the application potential of purified bavaricin A has been examined. More research should be done to study the production, the activity, and the stability of these inhibitory substances in food systems as these often differ from the broths mostly used in this kind of studies. Furthermore, an extensive screening of the sourdough microflora must be performed, in particular towards Bacilli and fungi. This could lead to the discovery of additional inhibitory substances, although it seems that the frequency of isolating bacteriocin-producing sourdough LAB is low. However, potent antimicrobials towards Bacilli as well as antifungal substances will have to be found using rational screening strategies and novel purification and analytical techniques.

Abstract
Sakacin K is an antilisterial bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sake CTC 494, a strain isolated from Spanish dry fermented sausages. The biokinetics of cell growth and bacteriocin production of L. sake CTC 494 in vitro during laboratory fermentations were investigated by making use of MRS broth. The data obtained from the fermentations was used to set up a predictive model to describe the influence of the physical factors temperature and pH on microbial behavior. The model was validated successfully for all components. However, the specific bacteriocin production rate seemed to have an upper limit. Both cell growth and bacteriocin activity were very much influenced by changes in temperature and pH. The production of biomass was closely related to bacteriocin activity, indicating primary metabolite kinetics, but was not the only factor of importance. Acidity dramatically influenced both the production and the inactivation of sakacin K; the optimal pH for cell growth did not correspond to the pH for maximal sakacin K activity. Furthermore, cells grew well at 35 degrees C but no bacteriocin production could be detected at this temperature. L. sake CTC 494 shows special promise for implementation as a novel bacteriocin-producing sausage starter culture with antilisterial properties, considering the fact that the temperature and acidity conditions that prevail during the fermentation process of dry fermented sausages are optimal for the production of sakacin K.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum NCIM 2084 produced an antibacterial substance when grown at 40 degrees C for 36 h in a laboratory medium. The antibacterial substance was active against a wide range of bacteria comprising Gram positive and negative foodborne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. However, related mesophilic lactobacilli were not inhibited, except for L. amylovorus DSM 20531. The antimicrobial activity was observed between late log and stationary growth phases. The antibacterial substance was partially purified through concentration under vacuum, followed by extraction with methanol and acetone (M-A extract). On fractionation of the M-A extract through Sephadex G-25, the activity was present in an eluant volume of 85 to 100 ml (peak I), indicating an apparent molecular mass of between 1 and 5 kDa and the purification attained was 80-fold. The antimicrobial principle was stable to heat (121 degrees C for 20 min) and catalase, but sensitive to trypsin and chymotrypsin, indicating it to be a bacteriocin. The M-A extract exhibited a bactericidal and lytic effect against Bacillus cereus F 4810 and Escherichia coli D 21. The ability of L. plantarum NCIM 2084 to produce an effective bacteriocin in a simple growth medium is of potential interest in its application as a biopreservative in traditional fermented foods.

Abstract
A Lactobacillus plantarum of vegetable origin produced a bacteriocin inhibitor to Listeria monocytogenes. The antimicrobial agent was inactivated by proteolytic enzymes, was resistant to heat (100 degrees C for 30 min) and stable over a wide pH range (pH 2-10), and displayed a bactericidal mode of action. Growth inhibition of L. monocytogenes depend on bacteriocin concentration. The antilisterial efficiency depended on the strain of L. monocytogenes used but was not influenced by the growth phase of this strain. A decrease in absorbance overtime, indicative of cell lysis, was also observed. The significance of the results is discussed in relation to the potential of the bacteriocin in controlling Listeria-associated food-borne hazards in foods.

Abstract
Brevicin 286 was produced by Lactobacillus brevis VB286 isolated from vacuum-packaged meat and was partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, gel filtration and dialysis. The bacteriocin was susceptible to proteolytic enzymes, stable to heating at 100 degrees C particularly under acidic against Listeria sp. Production of brevicin 286 was optimal during exponential growth at 20 degrees C. Higher rates of cell growth occurred between 30 and 37 degrees C but with little or no expression of brevicin 286. A food-grade formulation consisting of 4% yeast extract and 1% glucose was found to be adequate for optimal brevicin 286 production and the bacteriocin-containing culture supernate was successfully spray dried with full recovery of antibacterial activity in the resultant powder.

Abstract
Bacteriocin-producing strains may be used as protective cultures to improve the microbial safety of foods. The crude or purified form of these antimicrobial agents may also be applied directly as food preservative. This review gives survey of the different bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from fermented food products with particular emphasis on their genetic and biochemical properties. A number of bacteriocins are produced by L. plantarum. These include plantaricin B, plantaricin BN, plantaricin A, plantaricin C, plantaricin S and T, plantaricin F, plantaricin C19 and SA6 and other unnamed bacteriocins. However, with the exception of plantaricin A, information on the genetic and biochemical characteristics of L. plantarum bacteriocins is still scant.

Abstract
A total of 241 lactic acid bacteria belonging to Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus fermentum/reuteri and Lactobacillus brevis from various processing stages of maize dough fermentation were investigated. Results indicated that each processing stage has its own microenvironment with strong antimicrobial activity. About half of the Lact. plantarum and practically all of the Lact. fermentum/reuteri investigated were shown to inhibit other Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, explaining the elimination of these organisms during the initial processing stages. Further, widespread microbial interactions amounting to 85% to 18% of all combinations tested were demonstrated amongst lactic acid bacteria within the various processing stages, i.e. raw material, steeping, 0 h and 48 h of fermentation, explaining the microbial succession taking place amongst lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. The antimicrobial effect was explained by the combined effect of acids, compounds sensitive to proteolytic enzymes and other compounds with antimicrobial activity with the acid production being the most important factor. The pattern of antimicrobial factors was not species-specific and the safety and storage stability of fermented maize seem to depend on a mixed population of lactic acid bacteria with different types of antimicrobial characteristics. This means that introduction of pure cultures as starters may impose a risk to the product.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
The ability of Lactobacillus bavaricus, a meat isolate, to inhibit the growth of three Listeria monocytogenes strains was examined in three beef systems: beef cubes, beef cubes in gravy, and beef cubes in gravy containing glucose. The beef was minimally heat treated, inoculated with L. bavaricus at 10(5) or 10(3) CFU/g and L. monocytogenes at 10(2) CFU/g, vacuum sealed, and stored at 4 or 10 degrees C. The meat samples were monitored for microbial growth, pH, and bacteriocin production. The pathogen was inhibited by L. bavaricus MN. At 4 degrees C, L. monocytogenes was inhibited or killed depending on the initial inoculum level of L. bavaricus. At 10 degrees C, at least a 10-fold reduction of the pathogen occurred, except in the beef without gravy. This system showed a transient inhibition of the pathogen during the first week of storage followed by growth to control levels by the end of the incubation period. Bacteriocin was detected in the samples, and inhibition could not be attributed to acidification. Low refrigeration temperatures significantly (P < or = 0.05) enhanced L. monocytogenes inhibition. Moreover, the addition of glucose-containing gravy and the higher inoculum level of L. bavaricus were significantly (P < or = 0.05) more effective in reducing L. monocytogenes populations in most of the systems studied.
