Abstract

Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains that are resistant to high levels of nisin (up to 25,000 IU/ml in broth) were isolated. These nisin-resistant mutants were evaluated to determine their potential use as starter culture strains for cabbage fermentations. We found that some L. mesenteroides strains could be adapted to high levels of nisin resistance, while others could not. The nisin resistance trait was found to be stable for at least 35 generations, in the absence of nisin selection, for all mutants tested. The effects of nisin and salt, separately and in combination, on growth kinetics of the nisin-resistant strains were determined. Salt was the most influential factor on the specific growth rates of the mutants, and no synergistic effect between nisin and salt on specific growth rates was observed. The nisin-resistant strains were unimpaired in their ability to rapidly produce normal heterolactic fermentation end products. The use of these L. mesenteroides mutants as starter cultures in combination with nisin may extend the heterolactic phase of cabbage fermentations.
