Abstract

The alone and combined effects of bacteriocin produced from Enterococcus faecalis MJ-213 and potassium sorbate against the food-borne pathogenic bacteria were studied. Bacteriocin minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076 were 50 and 100 ${\mu}g$/ml, respectively. Bacteriocin (100 ${\mu}g$/ml) alone was active against S. aureus and S. enteritidis, but it was lower in antimicrobial effectiveness than the combination of bacteriocin (100 ${\mu}g$/ml) with potassium sorbate (100 ${\mu}g$/ml), which reduced initial counts (6 log cycle) of S. aureus and S. enteritidis by 1 and 3 log cycle, respectively. The bactericidal activity of bacteriocin of E. faecalis MJ-213 heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min or $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min was markedly decreased as compared with the control. Moreover, the activity of bacteriocin was completely abolished by pepsin or protease II, but not affected by ${\alpha}$-amylase or lipase. The activity of bacteriocin adjusted to pH 6.0-8.0 showed almost the same inhibition ratio compared with the bacteriocin unadjusted pH, and though the inhibition ratio against pathogenic bacteria was reduced than the control, the bacteriocin was stable at pH 4.0 or 10.0, relatively. Furthermore, the combined treatment of bacteriocin and potassium sorbate than the alone treatment of bacteriocin significantly decreased (p<0.05) the viable cell counts of S. aureus or S. enteritidis inoculated on grind beef during storage at $4^{\circ}C$.

식중독균에 대하여 Enterococcus faecalis MJ-213이 생산하는 박테리오신과 소르빈산칼륨의 혼합처리에 의한 항균효과를 조사하였다. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538에 대한 박테리오신의 MIC는 50 ${\mu}g$/ml, Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076에 대한 MIC는 100 ${\mu}g$/ml이었으나, 400 ${\mu}g$/ml의 농도 하에서도 Vibrio parahaemolyticus KCTC 2471의 증식억제 효과는 나타나지 않았다. S. aureus ATCC 6538과 S. enteritidis ATCC 13076 ($10^6$ CFU/ml)에 박테리오신 100 ${\mu}g$/ml 단독 처리 후 24시간 만에 초기 균수가 각각 약 4 log와 2 log cycle 감소되었고, 박테리오신 100 ${\mu}g$/ml와 소르빈산칼륨 100 ${\mu}g$/ml을 혼합 처리한 경우는 박테리오신만을 처리할 때 보다 유의적(p<0.05)으로 더 높은 항균효과가 나타났다. $121^{\circ}C$에서 15분간 가열한 박테리오신 단독처리에 의한 S. aureus과 S. enteritidis의 저해율은 각각 $9.36{\pm}0.58%$$3.71{\pm}0.24%$로 가열처리 하지 않은 박테리오신의 항균력 보다 크게 감소하였다. pH 조정하지 않은 박테리오신 단독 처리에 의한 S. aureus의 저해율($65.61{\pm}0.42%$)은 pH 6.0 혹은 8.0으로 조정한 박테리오신 처리구와 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 그 외의 pH로 조정한 박테리오신의 항균력은 유의할 만한 수준으로 감소되었다. 박테리오신 활성은 ${\alpha}$-amylase와 lipase 처리에 영향을 받지 않았으나, protease II와 pepsin 처리에 의해선 활성이 거의 소실되었다. 또한 갈은 쇠고기 내에 접종된 S. aureus와 S. enteritidis의 균수도 박테리오신 단독처리시보다 소르빈산칼륨과 혼합처리에 의해 $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장하는 동안 유의적(p<0.05)으로 더 낮은 균수를 유지하였다.
