description The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of sourdough related parameters on the growth and plantaricin activity of six <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> strains against a mixture of 5 <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> strains and to analyze the transcriptomic response of their <i>pln</i> genes. Parameters included 3 substrates (MRS broth, mMRS broth, WFE), 3 temperatures (20, 30, 37 °C), 2 initial pH values (5.0, 6.0), 2 NaCl concentrations (0.0, 1.8%) and 12 time points (ranging from 0 to 33 h). The transcriptomic response of the plantaricin genes to the aforementioned parameters was assessed after 21 h of growth. In general, plantaricin activity was strain dependent with that of <i>Lp. plantarum</i> strains LQC 2422, 2441, 2485 and 2516, harboring four <i>pln</i> genes, namely, <i>pln423</i> (<i>plαA</i>), <i>plαΒ</i>, <i>plαC</i> and <i>plαD</i>, reaching 2560 AU/mL. However, strains LQC 2320 and 2520, in which 18 <i>pln</i> genes were detected, namely, <i>plNC8a</i>, <i>plNC8b, plNC8c</i>, <i>plnL</i>, <i>plnR</i>, <i>plnJ</i>, <i>plnK</i>, <i>plnE</i>, <i>plnF</i>, <i>plnH</i>, <i>plnS</i>, <i>plnY</i>, <i>plNC8-IF</i>, <i>plNC8-HK</i>, <i>plnD</i>, <i>plnI</i>, <i>plnM</i> and <i>plnG</i>, exhibited plantaricin activity barely reaching 160 AU/mL. Substrate, temperature, initial pH value and strains significantly affected plantaricin activity, while NaCl had only a marginal effect. Similarly, growth substrate and temperature had a more pronounced effect than initial pH value on gene transcription. A strong correlation between the transcription of the genes belonging to the same locus was observed; however, only a weak correlation, if any, was observed between plantaricin activity and the transcription of the genes assessed.
