Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of leucocyclicin Q, a novel cyclic bacteriocin produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides TK41401.
Yoshimitsu Masuda,Hiroshi Ono,Hiroshi Kitagawa,Haruo Ito,Fuqin Mu,Naruhiko Sawa,Takeshi Zendo,Kenji Sonomoto +7 more
TL;DR: The culture supernatant of Leuconostoc mesenteroides TK41401, isolated from Japanese pickles, possessed antimicrobial activity against broad range of a bacterial genera and particularly strong activity against Bacillus coagulans, the major contaminant of pickles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, characterization and application of a polyvalent phage capable of controlling Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in different food matrices
Hoang Minh Duc,Hoang Minh Son,Hazel Pang Shu Yi,Jun Sato,Pham Hong Ngan,Yoshimitsu Masuda,Ken-ichi Honjoh,Takahisa Miyamoto +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first report on single phage capable of simultaneously controlling S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 in both in vitro and in foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and identification of weissellicin Y and weissellicin M, novel bacteriocins produced by Weissella hellenica QU 13
TL;DR: Aims: To identify and characterize novel bacteriocins from Weissella hellenica QU 13.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and characterization of multiple bacteriocins and an inducing peptide produced by Enterococcus faecium NKR-5-3 from Thai fermented fish.
Naoki Ishibashi,Kohei Himeno,Koji Fujita,Yoshimitsu Masuda,Rodney H. Perez,Takeshi Zendo,Pongtep Wilaipun,Vichien Leelawatcharamas,Jiro Nakayama,Kenji Sonomoto +9 more
TL;DR: Enterocin NKR-5-3D, showing high homology to an inducing peptide produced by Lactobacillus sakei 5, induced the production of the enterocins, which probably belong to different classes of bacteriocins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zirex: a Novel Zinc-Regulated Expression System for Lactococcus lactis
TL;DR: The applicability of Zirex together with the nisin-controlled expression system, enabling simultaneous but independent regulation of different genes in L. lactis is shown.
