Antilisterial Activity on Poultry Meat of Amylolysin, a Bacteriocin from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens GA1.

This paper describes the production, the purification and the antilisterial activity of amylolysin, a novel bacteriocin from B. amyloliquefaciens GA1. The strain genome was first analysed using PCR techniques for the presence of gene clusters that direct the synthesis of characterised bacteriocins from B.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens GA1 as a source of potent antibiotics and other secondary metabolites for biocontrol of plant pathogens.

Background: Phytopathogenic fungi affecting crop and post-harvested vegetables are a major threat to food production and food storage. To face these drawbacks, producers have become increasingly dependent on agrochemicals. However, intensive use of these compounds has led to the emergence of pathogen resistance and severe negative environmental impacts.
