Lactocin S is a lantibiotic peptide with potent antibacterial activity against a range of gram-positive bacteria. Because of challenges in obtaining sufficient quantities of this compound from natural sources, the stereochemistry of the lanthionine residues in lactocin S had not been confirmed. This report describes the chemical synthesis of lactocin S on chlorotrityl polystyrene resin in 10% overall yield using intramolecular cyclization to form the lanthionine rings and employing fragment coupling for the two N-terminal residues. This represents the first report of solid-supported synthesis of a naturally occurring lantibiotic. Comparison to lactocin S isolated from Lactobacillus sakei L45 using a combination of HPLC, MS/MS sequencing, bacterial testing, and chiral GC-MS analysis confirmed the initially proposed structure and the stereochemistry of the DL-lanthionine residues.

Background: The bacteriocins, particularly derived from lactic acid bacteria, currently exhibit potential as a promising food preservative owing to their low toxicity and potent antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of lactocin 63, produced by Lactobacillus coryniformis, in inhibiting the deterioration of Lateolabrax japonicas during chilled storage, while also investigating its underlying inhibitory mechanism. The measurement of total viable count, biogenic amines, and volatile organic compounds were conducted, along with high-throughput sequencing and sensory evaluation.

In this study, a novel bacteriocin Lactocin C-M2 produced by C-M2, combined with dielectric barrier discharged cold plasma (DBD-CP), was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect on aquatic foods. After the purification procedures of ethyl acetate extraction, cation exchange chromatography and semi-preparative liquid phase, the stability of Lactocin C-M2 under DBD-CP environment was determined, and the preservation effect of these two joint treatments was investigated on fresh white fish samples. As revealed by LC-MS/MS and BLAST analysis, Lactocin C-M2 is a new type of class II bacteriocin, with a molecular weight of 863.

Article Synopsis
  • Lanthipeptides are antimicrobial compounds with promising use in food preservation, but accessing their bioactive forms and the strains that produce them is challenging.* -
  • The researchers developed a high-throughput strategy called Metagenomic Mining of Isolates Population (MMIP), which combines isolating bacteria, mining for lanthipeptide genes, and identifying their producers.* -
  • The study identified 928 biosynthetic gene clusters, including several promising lanthipeptide producers and demonstrated effective antimicrobial activity against common food spoilage bacteria.*
