Draft Genome Sequence of the Pediocin-Encoding Biopreservative and Biocontrol Strain Pediococcus acidilactici D3
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a draft genome sequence for Pediococcus acidilactici strain D3, a component of multistrain commercial cultures with biopreservative and biocontrol properties in food-based applications. Strain D3 encodes at least one antimicrobial peptide, pediocin AMPd3. The AMPd3-encoding operon exhibits high sequence similarity to the archetype pediocin, PA-1, encoded by P. acidilactici PAC 1.0.

BACKGROUND Bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria are commonly used as natural protective cultures. Among them, strains of the genus Pediococcus are particularly interesting for their ability to produce pediocin, a broad spectrum antimicrobial peptide with a strong antagonistic activity against the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Furthermore, there is increasing interest in isol...

Production of bacteriocin activity designated pediocin PA-1 was associated with the presence of a 6.2-megadalton plasmid in Pediococcus acidilactici PAC1.0. The bacteriocin exhibited activity against P. acidilactici, P. pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei, L. bifermentans, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum. Partial characterization of pediocin PA-1 is described. The mo...

The class II bacteriocins pediocin PA-1, from Pediococcus acidilactici, and lactococcin A, from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis WM4 have a number of features in common. They are produced as precursor peptides containing similar amino-terminal leader sequences with a conserved processing site (Gly-Gly at positions -1 and -2). Translocation of both bacteriocins occurs via a ded...

The pulsed-field technique of clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis was employed to characterize and size genomic DNA of three pediocin-producing (Ped+) and two non-pediocin-producing (Ped-) strains of Pediococcus acidilactici. Comparison of genomic fingerprints obtained by digestion with the low-frequency-cleavage endonuclease AscI revealed identical restriction profiles for four ...
