RESUMO

The influence of growth parameters on the production of pediocin AcH by Pediococcus acidilactici H was studied. This strain produced large quantities of pediocin AcH in TGE broth (Trypticase [1%], glucose [1%], yeast extract [1%], Tween 80 [0.2%], Mn2+ [0.033 mM], Mg2+ [0.02 mM] [pH 6.5]) within 16 to 18 h at 30 to 37°C (final pH, 3.6 to 3.7). Pediocin AcH production was negligible when the pH of the medium was maintained at 5.0 or above, even in the presence of high cell mass.
