Popis: The effects of two crude bacteriocins (DF01 and K10) on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) communities and pH during kimchi fermentation were analyzed by polymerase chain reactiondenaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Crude LAB bacteriocins, prepared by ammonium sulfate precipitation, were added at 5 AU/mL, and kimchi was incubated at 20°C for 7 days. The pH and titratable acidity of the kimchies were determined daily, and the amplified 16S rRNA products were analyzed by PCR-DGGE. The common and main LAB were Weissella spp., Leuconostoc spp., and Lactobacillus spp. from both control and bacteriocin-treated samples. Among them, W. koreensis, W. confusa, and Lb. sakei were the predominant microorganisms throughout the fermentation period. Some obligate and facultatively heterofermentative LAB were detected from the bacteriocin-treated samples. The pH of the kimchi samples treated with each bacteriocin was higher (ca. 0.8 unit) than that of the control at day 4 and 5.
