Comments Information

    • Function

    • Bacteriocin that inhibits the growth of closely related Enterococcus species and a wide range of Gram-positive bacterial species. Inhibits the growth of several strains of the Gram-negative bacterium E.coli, but not the growth of Gram-negative Pseudomonas species.

    • Biophysicochemical properties

    • pH dependence (Stable at pH 5.0); Temperature dependence (Thermostable, retains activity after heating at 60, 80 and 100 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. Long-term storage at 4 degrees Celsius or -20 degrees Celsius does not affect activity).
