Abstract
This study purified, identified, and characterized SN-F1, a novel bacteriocin produced by Limosilactobacillus fermentum SN-1 isolated from traditional Qinghai yak yogurt. SN-F1 was extracted using ethyl acetate and purified through multistep chromatography (cation-exchange, gel filtration, and semi-preparative RP-HPLC). Tricine-SDS-PAGE and HPLC-MS/MS analysis revealed SN-F1 has a molecular mass of 2859.29 Da and a novel sequence (NINDQWLVLSSTQAAKLQALMKDVTA), classifying it as a class II bacteriocin. SN-F1 exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, inhibiting the key dairy spoilage mold Penicillium citrinum GLM6, various Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens, and several yeasts. The bacteriocin demonstrated significant thermostability (retained activity after 121 °C for 20 min) and high stability across a wide pH range (pH 2–8), but was completely inactivated by proteases (trypsin, protease K, papain, pepsin, flavor protease). Molecular docking elucidated the interaction forces and specific binding sites between SN-F1 and target cell membrane proteins. Crucially, incorporating SN-F1-producing L. fermentum SN-1 into fermentations with other functional lactic acid bacteria successfully produced enhanced traditional dairy products, confirming SN-F1's effective antibacterial activity.
期刊介绍:
The International Dairy Journal publishes significant advancements in dairy science and technology in the form of research articles and critical reviews that are of relevance to the broader international dairy community. Within this scope, research on the science and technology of milk and dairy products and the nutritional and health aspects of dairy foods are included; the journal pays particular attention to applied research and its interface with the dairy industry.
The journal''s coverage includes the following, where directly applicable to dairy science and technology:
• Chemistry and physico-chemical properties of milk constituents
• Microbiology, food safety, enzymology, biotechnology
• Processing and engineering
• Emulsion science, food structure, and texture
• Raw material quality and effect on relevant products
• Flavour and off-flavour development
• Technological functionality and applications of dairy ingredients
• Sensory and consumer sciences
• Nutrition and substantiation of human health implications of milk components or dairy products
International Dairy Journal does not publish papers related to milk production, animal health and other aspects of on-farm milk production unless there is a clear relationship to dairy technology, human health or final product quality.
