Higher nisin yield is reached with glutathione and pyruvate compared with heme in Lactococcus lactis N8.


ABSTRACT: There are different studies that aim to enhance the production of nisin by Lactococcus lactis since its chemical synthesis is not possible. In this study, glutathione (GSH) and pyruvate, which are known to reduce the oxidative stress of cells, have been shown to trigger the production of nisin at both transcriptional and translational levels in L. lactis cells grown under aerobic condition. Presence of GSH and pyruvate caused more nisin yield than the heme-supplemented medium. Moreover, the expression of genes that encode stress-related enzymes were apparently upregulated in the presence of GSH and pyruvate. It can be concluded that GSH and pyruvate contribute to the defense system of L. lactis cells and so that higher biomass was obtained which in turn enhance nisin production. Antioxidant effect of GSH and pyruvate was known; however, their stimulating effect on nisin production was shown for the first time in this study.
