A modified method for the turbidimetric assay of nisin
Nisin is an antibacterial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis that shows a broad spectrum of inhibitory activity against gram-positive microorganism including bacterial spores. Methods for nisin activity estimation in solution is redefined. In this work a new turbidimetric assay met...

| description | Nisin is an antibacterial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis that shows a broad spectrum of inhibitory activity against gram-positive microorganism including bacterial spores. Methods for nisin activity estimation in solution is redefined. In this work a new turbidimetric assay method has been described making possible to assay nisin satisfactorily in total incubation period of approximately six hours.<br>Nisina é um peptídeo antibacteriano produzido por Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis que apresenta um grande espectro antimicrobiano para microrganismos gram-positivos incluindo esporos bacterianos. Alguns métodos para deteminação da atividade de nisina foram definidos. Neste trabalho foi proposto uma modificação no método para determinação de nisina no qual obteve-se resultados satisfatórios em aproximadamente 6 horas. |
