概要 Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria are known to be useful tools for food biopreservation and fermentation control. Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides 406 and 213M0 isolated from different samples of Mongolian traditional fermented milk, airag, had been reported to produce listericidal bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances with similar but slightly different properties. In this study, the antibacterial properties and the related gene sequences of both strains were compared, and then their bacteriocins were purified and identified. Strain 406 was superior to strain 213M0 in cell growth and antibacterial activity against many strains. However, the activity of 213M0 was stronger than that of 406 against a few strains. DNA sequencing revealed two and three plasmids in 406 and 213M0, respectively, and each one of them harbored an almost identical mesentericin Y105–B105 gene cluster. Removal of these plasmids resulted in a complete loss of activity, indicating that the antibacterial activity of both strains was generated by bacteriocins encoded on the plasmids. Mesentericins Y105 and B105 were purified from both cultures, and another novel bacteriocin, named mesentericin M, was identified from the 213M0 culture only. Its structural gene was coded on a 213M0 plasmid and, surprisingly, its C-terminal three amino acid residues were post-translationally cleaved. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a C-terminal truncated bacteriocin. In conclusion, the novel bacteriocin should be mainly responsible for the difference in antibacterial properties between the two strains.
