Abstract:

Objective: To study the isolation and purification technology of a broad-spectrum bacteriocin, sakacin produced by Lactobacillus sake G2. Methods: The cell-free fermentation broth of Lactobacillus sake G2 containing sakacin was decolored with active carbon and precipitated with cold ethanol to remove macromolecular impurities, and purified by Sephadex G50 column chromatography and HPLC. Results: The optimum conditions for isolation and purification were as follows: decoloring the cell-free supernatant of Lactobacillus sake G2 with 3.5% of active carbon addition at 40 ℃ for 20 h (the decolorization rate reached 64.5%), finial ethanol concentration 80%, elution flow rate of Sephadex G50 column 0.5 ml/min, sampling volume 3 ml, and taking 90% methanol aqueous solution as mobile phase for HPLC. Under these conditions, the electrophoretic purity of sakacin was obtained. Conclusions: This study can lay the foundation for the future study of physicochemical properties and bacteriostatic mechanism of sakacin.
