They present a strong interest as potential foodpreservatives. Class IIb bacteriocins consist of two different unmodified peptides for whichoptimal antibacterial activity requires the presence of both peptides in about equal amounts[1,2], while class IId includes leaderless peptides (class II2 in the enterocin classification)[3], synthesized without an N-terminal leader sequence.Two antibacterial peptides secreted by Enterococcus durans A5-11 isolated fromMongolian airag (traditional fermented mare's milk) [4] were purified from culturesupernatants and characterized in terms of amino-acid sequences, conformations,antibacterial activities, and potential synergy.Results and DiscussionIsolation. Enterococcus durans A5-11 isolated from Mongolian airag was grown in M17medium at 37°C overnight. The supernatant was subjected to SP-Sepharosecation-exchange chromatography. The active fraction (elution in 0.6 M NaCl) was saltedout by solid-phase extraction on a C 18 cartridge. Enterocins were further purified byreversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on an Uptisphere C 4 column.Peptide sequences. The purified peptides were identified as enterocins L50A and L50Bisolated previously from Enterococcus faecium [5]. Despite 72% of sequence identity, thetwo peptides showed different sensibility to proteases, L50A and L50B being resistant andsensible to trypsin, respectively.L50A: f-MGAIAKLVAK FGMPIVKKYY KQIMQFIGEG WAINKIIEWI KKHIL50B: f-MGAIAKLVTK FGMPLIKKFY KQIMQFIGQG WTIDQIEKWL KRHTable 1.
