Abstract
Production of bacteriocin activity designated pediocin PA-1 was associated with the presence of a 6.2-megadalton plasmid in
Pediococcus acidilactici
PAC1.0. The bacteriocin exhibited activity against
P. acidilactici, P. pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei, L. bifermentans
, and
Leuconostoc mesenteroides
subsp.
dextranicum.
Partial characterization of pediocin PA-1 is described. The molecular weight of pediocin PA-1 was ca. 16,500. Additionally, strain PAC1.0 was found to contain a 23-megadalton plasmid associated with sucrose-fermenting ability.
