Production of antibacterial violet pigment by psychrotropic bacterium RT102 strain
Tóm tắt
The antibacterial action of violet pigment, a mixture of violacein and deoxyviolacein, isolated from phychrotrophic bacterium RT102 strain was examined, and the operational conditions for the effective production of violet pigment were studied. The antibacterial activity of the violet pigment was confirmed for several bacteria such asBacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, andPseudomonas aeruginosa, and the high concentration of violet pigment, above about 15 mg/L, caused not only growth inhibition but also death of cells. The growth properties of RT102 strain were clarified under various incubation conditions such as pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration. The maximum violet pigment concentration,i.e. 3.7 g/L, and the maximum productivity of violet pigment,i.e. 0.12 g L−1h−1, were obtained in a batch culture of pH 6, 20°C, and 1 mg/L of dissolved oxygen concentration.
