Bacteriocin production of Lactobacillus sp. from intestines of ducks (Anas domesticus L.) incubated at room temperature and antibacterial effectivity against pathogen

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

Bacteriocin is a peptide that is easily degraded by proteolytic enzymes in the digestive systems of animals, including humans. It has antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Lactobacillus sp. is one type of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that occupies the intestines of ducks (Anas domesticus L.). The purpose of this research was to determine the optimum time of the highest protein production by Lactobacillus sp. and to determine inhibitory activity of bacteriocin against pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus). Using the Bradford method, the results showed that the optimum time of highest bacteriocin production was after 36 hours of incubation, with a protein content of 0.93 mg/ml. The bacteriocin inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli showed that a protein concentration of 30% gave a maximum inhibition index of 1.1 mm, while for Staphylococcus aureus, a concentration of 70% gave a maximum inhibition index of 0.3 mm. Further research is required to determine the stationary state of bacteriocin production in this circumstance.
