- Title
Enhanced nisin and pediocin production on whey supplemented with different nitrogen sources.
- Authors
Guerra, Nelson P.; Pastrana, Lorenzo
- Abstract
Production of nisin and pediocin were followed, respectively, in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CECT 539 and Pediococcus acidilactici NRRL B-5627 grown with lactose and four different nitrogen sources. Neither NH4Cl nor glycine improved production of the bacteriocins. Both yeast extract and Casitone increased pediocin production from 55 BU ml-1 to 195 BU ml-1 and 185 BU ml-1, respectively. Nisin increased from 21 BU ml-1 to 74 BU ml-1 and 59 BU ml-1 with these nitrogen sources.
