Isolation, purification, and amino acid sequence of lactobin A, one of the two bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus amylovorus LMG P-13139
Article Abstract:
Lactobacillus amylovorus LMG P-13139 produces a 4.5 kDa bacteriocin, lactobin A, that is a heat stable, non-lanthionine-containing membrane-active peptide. It belongs to the class IIb bacteriocins. The peptide's N-terminal contains 50 amino acids. The bacteriocin consists of 26% glycine residues and 40% hydrophobic residues. It shows structural homology with the lafX gene product. A hydrophobic membrane-integrated stretch extends from residues 24 to 45, and the extreme N- and C-terminals of lactobin A have a hydrophilic nature.

Starch-binding domain affects catalysis in two Lactobacillus alpha-amylases
Article Abstract:
A kinetic study of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus amylovorus alpha-amylases acting on starch in both granular and soluble forms is reported and their adsorption capacities to consider the implications of a soluble enzyme acting upon a solid substrate is studied. The amylases produced by both lactobacilli were purified from the supernatant by affinity chromatography on beta-cyclodextrin-Sepharose.
