Abstract

The mode of the induction of the biosynthesis of macedocin, the lantibiotic produced by Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198, is studied. The chemically prepared [[alpha].sub.S1]-casein fragment 37-55 is able to induce macedocin biosynthesis and milk protein degradation fragments have displayed a bacteriocin induction activity.

2. Use of artificial neural networks and a gamma-concept-based approach to model growth of and bacteriocin production by streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198 under simulated conditions of Kasseri Cheese production

Abstract

A kinetic study was conducted to investigate the influence of temperature, pH, and salt concentration conditions prevailing during Kasseri cheese production on the growth of Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198, as well as on the production of macedocin. The results showed that artificial neural networks (ANNs), though less suitable for biological interpretation, outperform a more traditional model based on the gamma concept in describing the growth behavior and bacteriocin production capacity of S. mecadonicus ACA-DC 198.

3. Macedocin, a food-grade lantibiotic produced by Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198

Abstract

Research describes the structure and antimicrobial spectrum and mechanism of action of the bacteriocin, macedocin, produced by Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198. Results indicate that macedocin inhibits a broad spectrum of lactic acid bacteria and food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. The bacteriocin protects against clostridia in cheese production.
