RESUMO

Nisin is a bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis that inhibits the germination and growth of Gram-positive bacteria. As Nisin expression is related to the growth conditions of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, the effects of growth parameters, media components and incubation time, were studied to optimize the expression of Nisin. L. lactis ATCC 11454 was grown (36h/100rpm/30oC) in both M17 and MRS basic broth media (pH = 6-7) supplemented with sucrose (1.0-12.5 g L-1); potassium phosphate (0.13 g L-1), asparagine (0.5 g L-1) and sucrose (0.24 g L-1); and diluted 1:1 with liquid non-fat milk. Liquid non-fat milk, undiluted, was also used as another basic medium (9–10 % total solids, pH = 6.5). Aliquots of cultured broth (OD660 = 0.7; 3.20 mg DCW/L or 102 CFU/ml) from each group were transferred into fresh broth and incubated further (36h/100/rpm30oC). Nisin production was assayed by agar diffusion using Lactobacillus sake ATCC 15521 (24h/300C) as the sensitive organism. Comparing diameters of growth inhibition of L. sake from wells of Nisin of known concentration (“standard Nisin”; Nisaplin, Sigma) to diameters of inhibition from defined volumes of L. lactis sp. lactis broth cultures, the amount of Nisin in broth cultures was measured as arbitrary units (AU ml-1) converted to Nisin mg/ml, with 25 mg of standard Nisin/g corresponding to 106 AU/g. The detection of Nisin activity was less than 0.1 AU.mL-1 in M17 or MRS broth, and increased to a maximum of 142527.94 AU.mL-1 in M17 or MRS diluted with liquid non-fat milk (1:1). The amount of Nisin expressed was strongly influenced by the incorporation of non-fat milk to both M17 and MRS broths (1:1), with the maximum amount expressed after 36 h of incubation. Nisin is widely used as a natural additive for preserving foods, pharmaceutical and dental products, and as a therapeutic agent. This study was performed to improve large scale Nisin production to meet the demand of its beneficial use in health-care products.
