Purification, characterization, mode of action and enhanced production of Salivaricin mmaye1, a novel bacteriocin from Lactobacillus salivarius SPW1 of human gut origin

ConclusionsA novel, cell-wall adhering, highly potent bacteriocin with a broad-spectrum of inhibitory activity, membrane-permeabilizing ability and enhanced production in a newly constituted medium has been isolated. It has a quorum sensing regulatory system and possesses interesting physico-chemical characteristics favoring its future use in food biopreservation. These findings pave the way for future evaluation of its medical and food applications.
