Published: September 2015

Background: Weissellicin 110 is the only bacteriocin reported in up to now. This bacteriocin represents several unique features. This is the first report on the gene sequence that encodes for the bacteriocin.

Objectives: Providing a rapid detection method to isolate the weissellicin 110 encoding gene and determination of the bacteriocin distribution were the objectives.

Materials And Methods: Bacteriocin from 860106 was purified and analyzed using mass spectrometry for proteins sequencing. The draft genome sequence of 860106 was generated using next generation sequencing. PCR was applied to detect the weissellicin 110 encoding gene.

Results: The molecular weight and partial protein sequence were obtained for the bacteriocin from 860106. An open reading frame (ORF) was identified as weissellicin 110 from the draft genome sequence. PCR primers were designed to amplify the weissellicin 110 encoding gene and these primers detected sequences from other 27 BLIS-producing strains previously isolated from either various Taiwanese fermented foods or the respective raw materials.

Conclusions: The genetic information of weissellicin 110 was obtained, enabling rapid detection of the weissellicin 110 encoding gene. Results suggest that weissellicin 110 producing strains are widely distributed inTaiwanese fermented foods.

Weissella cibaria 110, isolated from the Thai fermented fish product plaa-som, was found to produce a bacteriocin active against some gram-positive bacteria. Bacteriocin activity was not eliminated by exposure to high temperatures or catalase but was destroyed by exposure to the proteolytic enzymes proteinase K and trypsin. The bacteriocin from W.
