Inhibition of Psychrotrophic Organisms by Propionicin PLG-1, a Bacteriocin Produced by Propionibacterium thoenii

Propionibacterium thoenii strain P127, which produces the bacteriocin propionicin PLG-1, was grown in a skim milk medium and produced bacteriocin in that medium. No bacteriocin activity was detected in skim milk medium in which strain P127-1, a bacteriocin-negative variant of strain P127, had been grown.

Five psychrotrophic spoilage or pathogenic organisms (one strain each of Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Yersinia enterocolitica, and one strain of Corynebacterium sp.) were incubated for 24 h in laboratory medium, nonfermented skim milk, and skim milk that had been fermented by strain P127 or P127-1. Strains were inhibited only in the skim milk fermented by strain P127, as evidenced by loss in numbers of viable cells after 24 h at 1O°C and less growth than in other media after 24 h at optimal growth temperatures. Growth of selected strains was delayed or slowed during prolonged incubation (21 d) at 1O°C. Propionicin PLG-1 shows promise as a preservative for food products.

Key Words: psychrotrophic organisms • antimicrobial activity • propionicin PLG-1 • bacteriocin
