Abstrakt: A bacteriocin termed plantaricin MX with a broad antimicrobial spectrum was produced by Lactobacillus plantarum NMD-17, which was isolated from Inner Mongolia traditional koumiss of china. Among 300 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) belonging to the genera Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Leuconostoc, and Enterococcus, five strains including Lactobacillus reuteri NMD-86, Lactobacillus helveticus NMD-137, Lactococcus lactis NMD-152, Enterococcus faecalis NMD-178, and Enterococcus faecium NMD-219 were revealed to significantly induce the bacteriocin synthesis and greatly increase the cell numbers of Lactobacillus plantarum NMD-17 and activity of AI-2 signaling molecule. Bacteriocin synthesis was not increased by cell-free supernatants and autoclaved cultures of inducing strains, demonstrating that intact cells of inducing strains were essential to the induction of bacteriocin synthesis. The existence of bacteriocin structural plnEF genes and the plnD and luxS genes involved in quorum sensing was confirmed by PCR, and the presence of plnB gene encoding histidine protein kinase was determined by single oligonucleotide nested PCR (Son-PCR). Quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that plnB, plnD, luxS, plnE, and plnF genes of L. plantarum NMD-17 were upregulated significantly (P < 0.01) in co-cultivation with L. reuteri NMD-86. The results showed that the bacteriocin synthesis of L. plantarum NMD-17 in co-cultivation might have a close relationship with LuxS-mediated quorum sensing system.
