Inhibition Activity of Plantaricin Q7 Produced by Lactobacillus plantarum Q7 against Listeria monocytogenes and Its Biofilm
Fermentation(2022)
Abstract
Plantaricin Q7 is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide produced by Lactobacillus plantarum Q7. The effects of plantaricin Q7 on Listeria monocytogenes and its biofilm were investigated. The results showed that plantaricin Q7 changed the cell membrane permeability and integrity of Listeria monocytogenes significantly. The extracellular lactate dehydrogenase activity increased from 156.74 U/L to 497.62 U/L, and the K+ concentration was increased rapidly from 0.02 g/L to 0.09 g/L. Furthermore, the flagellum motility of Listeria monocytogenes reduced and the relative adhesion rate decreased about 30% after treatment with plantaricin Q7. Meanwhile, the morphology and structure of Listeria monocytogenes cell and biofilm were damaged. These findings suggested that plantaricin Q7 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on not only Listeria monocytogenes cell but also its biofilm, which might be used as a natural and effective biological preservative for food storage.
