| Abstract | The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) microbiota of Saudi chicken ceca was determined. From 60 samples, 204 isolates of lactic acid bacteria were obtained. Three isolates produced antimicrobial activities against Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes, and Bacillus subtilis. The isolate DN317, which had the highest activity against Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33560, was identified as Lactobacillus curvatus (GenBank accession numbers: KX353849 and KX353850). Full inhibitory activity was observed after a 2-h incubation with the supernatant at pH values between 4 and 8. Only 16% of the activity was conserved after a treatment at 121 °C for 15 min. The use of proteinase K, pepsin, chymotrypsin, trypsin, papain, and lysozyme drastically reduced the antimicrobial activity. However, lipase, catalase, and lysozyme had no effect on this activity. The active peptide produced by Lactobacillus curvatus DN317 was purified by precipitation with an 80% saturated ammonium sulfate solution, and two steps of reversed phase HPLC on a C18 column. The molecular weight of this peptide was 4448 Da as determined by MALDI-ToF. N-terminal sequence analysis using Edman degradation revealed 47 amino acid residues (UniProt Knowledgebase accession number C0HK82) revealing homology with the amino acid sequences of sakacin P and curvaticin L442. The antimicrobial activity of the bacteriocin, namely curvaticin DN317, was found to be bacteriostatic against Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33560. The use of microbial antagonism by LAB is one of the best ways to control microorganisms safely in foods. This result constitutes a reasonable advance in the antimicrobial field because of its potential applications in food technology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
