Description
Summary:Carnobacterium maltaromaticum is a species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that has been isolated from various natural environments. It is well-known for producing a diverse spectrum of bacteriocins with potential biotechnological applications. In the present study, a new psychrotolerant strain of C. maltaromaticum CM22 is reported, isolated from a salmon gut sample and producing a variant of the bacteriocin piscicolin 126 that has been named piscicolin CM22. After identification by 16S rRNA gene, this strain has been genomically characterized by sequencing and assembling its complete genome. Moreover, its bacteriocin was purified and characterized. In vitro tests demonstrated that both the strain and its bacteriocin possess antimicrobial activity against several Gram-positive bacteria of interest in human and animal health, such as Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, or Enterococcus faecalis. However, this bacteriocin did not produce any antimicrobial effect on Gram-negative species. The study of its genome showed the genetic structure of the gene cluster that encodes the bacteriocin, showing a high degree of homology to the gene cluster of piscicolin 126 described in other C. maltaromaticum. Although more studies are necessary concerning its functional properties, this new psychrotolerant strain C. maltaromaticum CM22 and its bacteriocin could be considered an interesting candidate with potential application in agri-food industry.
