Abstract
We studied ntimicrobial activity of L. plantarum strain against different pathogens: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus. It was shown that supernatant of 48-h L. plantarum culture in liquid nutrient medium exhibits inhibitory activity against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic microorganisms. Supernatant of 24-h culture exhibited lower activity, while supernatant of 72-h culture produced no inhibitory effect. Boiling and proteinase K treatment did not affect activity of the preparation, i.e. antimicrobial activity of the supernatant was not associated with protein or peptide component. These data were confirmed by the results observed after ultrafiltration of the preparation: the growth of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus was inhibited by the low-molecular-weight fraction, but not high-molecular-weight fraction of the supernatant. On the other hand, the high-molecular-weight fraction suppressed the growth of streptococcus by 3 times. We hypothesized that L. plantarum supernatant obtained in our experiments contained at least two antimicrobial components with different molecular weights.
